About the temple
Guruvayur is situated in Kerala, 30 Kms, from Trichur town.
As per the Sthalapurana, a beautiful little idol of Lord Vishnu, and kept for personal worship by Sri Krishna at Dwaraka. Just before the deluge of Dwapara Yuga when Dwaraka was about to be submerged by the ocean, it was brought here by Guru and Vayu, the celestial preceptor and the God of wind-in deference to the wishes of Sri Krishna.
The ever smiling Guruvayurappan showers his benign blessings on the hundreds and thousands of devotees who throng the temple everyday seeking His grace. Devotees around this region revere this deity as their Kuladevata.
The noteworthy features of the daily routine are(1) Recitation of Gita Govindam in the temple(2) Seeveli Procession and (3) a dance form Krishna Attam, performed as offering to the deity during nights.
According to tradition Melpathur Narayana Battadri,a scholar and poet of great eminence, who lived four centuries ago, dedicated to the lotus feet of the Lord, the inspired Narayaneeyam, verses retelling Bhagavatam in a nutshell in divine presence-and had his rheumatism cured completely.
