THE GURUVAYOOR TEMPLE ,DEDICATED TO LORD KRISHNA(WORSHIPPED AS GURUVAYOORAPPAN),IS ONE OF THE FAMOUS AND SACRED HINDU PILGRIMAGE CENTRE IN KERALA,INDIA
Guruvayurappan is believed to appear in twelve forms throughout the day. The idol is carved from the rare Patala Anjanashila and is said to have been consecrated by Brihaspati and Vayudeva. The place came to be known as Guruvayur, and hence the deity is called Guruvayurappan. This video may help both first-time visitors and those who've been many times but still feel lost in the crowd.

Guruvayur is in Chavakkad, Thrissur district. Guruvayur railway station, a kilometer from the temple, connects to major places. Many devotees come by train, have darshan, and return the same day. The temple is 25 km from Thrissur city, with plenty of buses. The private bus stand is near the eastern entrance; the KSRTC stand is near the western gate. NH66 passes through nearby Manathala, and once completed, access to the temple will be easier. Parking is available at Manjulal (East), and multi-level complexes near the outer and inner ring roads accommodate even large vehicles. Note that both roads are one-way.

Stay Options
If you’re coming from far, same-day darshan isn’t always possible on busy days. Many hotels are available nearby. Devaswom-run Panchajanyam and Sreevalsam guest houses are near the southern entrance, with online booking available. Just 100 meters from the south gate, there’s also a low-cost dormitory. If staying in private hotels, confirm parking availability in advance.

Manjulal & the Story of Garuda
Near the East Nada stands a Garuda statue next to a sacred banyan tree named Manjulal. The story goes that Manjula, a young devotee, arrived late one night with a flower garland for Krishna but found the temple closed. Comforted by poet Poonthanam, she left the garland under the tree. The next morning, the priest found one garland mysteriously left on the deity even after removing all others. Poonthanam confirmed it was Manjula’s. Thus, the tree came to be known as Manjulal. A new Garuda statue, made from 5200 kg of bronze, replaced the old cement one in March 2025, donated by Venu Kunnappilly.

The festival’s elephant procession starts from Manjulal, rooted in a legend. Once, when Guruvayur lacked elephants due to political disputes, none arrived from Trikkanamatilakam temple. On the festival’s flag-hoisting day, as rituals were carried out without elephants, they came running in by afternoon, jingling bells. This event is commemorated by the modern-day “Aanayottam.” Guruvayur now has 41 elephants, all donated by devotees. Due to laws, buying elephants is banned, but symbolic donations of ₹10 lakhs can be made instead.

Entry is through the East Gopuram. The queue complex is located here, and during peak times, lines extend to the South Nada. Bags, phones, and footwear must be deposited at cloakrooms nearby. There are toilet and bathing facilities close to the queue area and also at Rudra Theertham (North Nada), though soaps and oils are prohibited.

Mara Prabhu
Story Behind Maraprabhu – The Lord in Wood

Melpathur and Poonthanam were contemporaries—both great scholars and devoted followers of Guruvayurappan. Their writing styles were very different: Melpathur composed in Sanskrit, while Poonthanam wrote in Malayalam. Once, during a Sahasranamam recital, Poonthanam accidentally pronounced “Padmanabha Amaraprabhu” as “Padmanabha Maraprabhu”, which means “God of trees.” Melpathur openly laughed at him, mocking the mistake. But Poonthanam’s works were always filled with pure devotion, and he remained humble. According to legend, Guruvayurappan himself came to his devotee’s defense, speaking in a celestial voice: “I am also Maraprabhu,” turning the moment of insult into one of divine grace.
