Dwarka of the South

Guruvayur stands as one of the holiest and most important pilgrimage centers in the state, with its Sri Krishna Temple among the most frequented temples in the country. Considered the abode of Lord Vishnu on earth, the main attraction of Guruvayur draws millions of visitors each year to give offerings of food--particularly bananas--in amounts often calculated according to the weight of the worshipper. Non-Hindus are strictly forbidden to enter the grounds of the temple. Guruvayur is in Thrissur District. Use our international travel planner: Guruvayur and all its delights await.
