This is a beautiful high quality animated live wallpaper of lord ayyappan. It features bhagwan ayyappa with floating starts and flame.

Lord ayyappan also called Sastavu or Sasta is a Hindu deity who is believed to be an incarnation of Dharma Sasta, the offspring of Shiva and Vishnu (in the form of Mohini, his only female avatar), He is generally depicted in a yogic posture, wearing a jewel around his neck, hence named Manikandan. Lord ayyappan may bear a historical relationship to the tutelary deity Aiyanar in Tamil Nadu.

There are various tales connected with lord ayyappa: the discovery of the child at pampa, Manikandan's youthful days in the Pandalam palace, bestowing the power of hearing and speaking upon the deaf and dumb son of His teacher as Guru-dakshina, His friendship with Vavar, bringing the tigress's milk, accomplishing His divinely destined mission of annihilation of the demoness Mahishi, eliminating the forest-thug Udayanan, bestowing moksha on Sabari, blessing His father with moksha. Raja Rajasekhara was in his previous birth a rich and pious 'brahmin ' by name Vijayan who was a very strong believer and devotee of Lord Dharma Sastha. Manikanta learnt Martial arts Kalari to cheerappanchira, the Muhamma of today in Alappuzha district. Guru panicker's daughter Nila fall in love with Lord Manikanta but he refuses to marry telling he is a Bhrammachari and has a mission. She offers sweet payasam which turned to Aravanapayasam today.

By the 20th century, there has been an increase in the number of worshipers of god ayyappan from many different groups, spurred by vast improvements in transport and communication in southern India
God ayyappan's annual festival is a time of pilgrimage for ever-growing numbers of men from throughout South India. The most prominent and famous ayyappan shrine is the one at Sabarimala, in the hills of Pathanamthitta in Kerala, with over 30 million devotees visiting it every year, making it one of the largest pilgrimage sites in the world.

These devotees fast and engage in austerities under the leadership of a Periya Swami (one who has undertaken the pilgrimage to Sabarimala for 18 years) for weeks beforehand and then travel in groups to the shrine for a glimpse of ayyappan. Bus tickets are hard to obtain for several weeks as masses of elated men, clad in distinctive ritual dhotis of saffron, black and light blue colors, throng public transportation during their trip to the shrine.

Various names of Ayyappan:
Dharmasasta, Hariharasutan, Manikandan, Sathanar, Sastan, Cattan (from Sanskrit Sasta), Ayyanar, Natrayan, Nattarasan, Bhutanathan, and Shanmuka nathan.
