Temple Dedicated To Lord Krishna.
Guruvayur Temple is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Lord Krishna. The presiding deity of the temple is a four armed version of Vishnu, worshipped mainly in Kerala, as Shri Krishna in his infant form.
The temple opens at 3 am in the morning, and there are daily five pujas and three circumambulatory processions of the deity on an elephant, and finally closing at 10 pm at night. There are special timings for senior citizens from 7 am to 8 am and then again from 4.30 pm to 6 pm, without any entry fee. We decided to go for the evening darshan but still had to wait in the queue for about half an hour. We were allowed to go in batches and we joined the general public once we entered the temple. We had a good darshan of the Lord. We had a good minute to view the idol and it indeed seemed that he was blessing us.
There is a strict dress code we had to adhere to. Men can only wear dhotis and nothing to cover the chest. Ladies can wear sarees or salwar kameez, but not jeans or shorts. Cell-phones, cameras and other gadgets have to be kept in the lockers outside for a small fee.
After darshan we went to the Prasad Hall where we were served a holy meal which consisted of a banana, some upma and glass of some sweet nectar.
