What is the significance of the Eighteen Steps?
As in most symbolism related issues, especially more so in Hindu Mythology, there is more than one way of understanding the Eighteen Steps.

Significance of the number Eighteen
To begin with, Eighteen is significant number in Hinduism: the Mahabharathe war was fought in Eighteen Days; The Bhagavad Geetha has Eighteen Chapters; The main Puranas are Eighteen. Eighteen is a complete number.

The origin of the Eighteen Steps.
When Ayyappan decided to leave this earthly abode and take up his rightful place amongst the celestial pantheon, he selected the sacred Sabhari hill as the spot for his ascent. He bade farewell to his father-on-earth, Panthala Raja and ascended to the skies where Indira the King of Gods had created the Seat of Knowledge (Jnana Peetam). This throne was a bit high for our Lord who was just twelve years old. In order to facilitate his
Ascent, eighteen Devas who had come to witness the sight, lay themselves down quickly at His feet. Ayyappan then climbed on these Eighteen divine "steps" to reach the throne where he sat in the Yogic position. The Eighteen Devas froze into the Eighteen Steps. Later, when Parasuramar established the original temple, he worshipped these Eighteen steps and further sanctified them. The Steps are in themselves divine and therefore worthy of worship. This is called Padi Pooja.. These steps are also called The Eighteen Golden Steps of Absolute Truth. (Sathiyamana Ponnu Pathinettu Padigal)
