Apart from Brahmins, very few Tamilians visit the Guruvayur Temple. He is known as Guruvayurappan only by Malayali's or Palghat Iyers. Lord Guruvayurappan is Lord Krishna as worshipped in Guruvayur. So Ayyapa is a South Indian God rather than a Tamil God or Kerala God. Lord Ayyappa is worshipped mainly by Keralites but a large number of other South Indians - Tamilians, Kannadigas and Andhrites visit and follow the traditions of Sabarimala which is near Pampa in Kerala where the Lords Temple is located. Lord Ayyapa is a Birth of a Child born to Mohini and Lord Siva born to kill Evil. Almighty Lord Kartikeya is Son of Shiv Shakti born to kill an Invincible demon Tarakasur and Lord Ayyapa Swami was born from Lord Mahadev and Goddess Mohini (Avtar of Lord Narayana) born to kill a powerful scary demon Mahishi.
