GEORGE TOWN: It was the desire to improve the health of their children that led a family on the Patha Yathirai, or Holy Path Journey, to the Waterfall Hilltop Ayyappan Temple.
The family was among about 500 devotees of Lord Ayyappan, who after a 60-day fast and vegetarian diet, walked the 4km route from the Sri Ramar Temple in York Road to the hilltop temple barefoot yesterday.
