What is behind MakaraJyothi in Sabarimala ?

Now a days big controversy is happening about MakaraJyothi in Sabarimala.

A number of attempts have been made by rationalists, other individuals, and Media to find out the truth behind this miracle and to give a natural explanation to it.

In 1973 about 24 persons from the Kollam district of Kerala reached Ponnambalamedu hills where the light appreared and bursted fire crackers. They were later taken into custody by the police after a complaint ("defiling the sanctity of Ponnambalamedu") was lodged by B. Madhavan Nair, the then chairman of Travancore Devaswam Board. Since they did not commit any crime under the Indian Penal Code, they were to be released unconditionally.^{[citation needed]} In 1980, a group of rationalists from Trichur also visited Ponnambalamedu and reported about it.

One of the best documented attempts at revealing the truth behind Makarajyoti was made in the year 1981, when the activists of Kerala Yukthivadi Sangham went to the hill station and took a number of photographs which were later published in various Malayalam magazines, such as Mathrubhoomi, Janayugam, Yukthivicharam, Yukthivadi etc. They also published a widely circulated Malayalam pamphlet "Makarajyothi Enna Thattippu" (Makarajyothi: A fraud) written by Pavanan, the well-known literary critic and rationalist.

The following is a brief account of what happened on 14 January 1981 at the hill as alleged in the above-referred brochure:

Ponnambalamedu is a flat grass-land spotted with a few trees. About half-a-kilometer away from there was stationed a Jeep belonging to temple authorities. A crowd of about 500 persons including women and children (mostly relatives and friends of employees of Kerala State Electricity Board, who manages the nearby Sabarigiri Hydroelectric Project) had come to the site to witness the lighting of the Makara Jyothi (Page 14). At about 6.30 PM, a driver of Kerala Electricity Board, and his accomplices filled a vessel with camphor. And when they received a signal from temple authorities, he lit the camphor and raised the vessel thrice facing Sabarimala. Interestingly, the rationalists who assembled there also lighted some crude torches and firecrackers (Page 20). The media reports on the following day brought to light, unknowingly though, the presence of skeptics in Ponnamblamedu.
