Special rituals will be done
Devaswam Board officials said that this ritual will have special rituals for six days, in which 18 puja and 18 Xivelis will be repeated from Tuesday morning.

Ignorance, I made a mistake and I apologize to those who have been hurt. The Guruvayur temple management has reiterated its stand that the sanctity of the temple complex should remain all the time and will be strictly dealt with by violations. The incident has re -resurrected the debate on the responsibility of social media in the place of worship.
Is the specialty of Guruvayur Shri Krishna Temple?
Guruvayur Shri Krishna Temple, often called “Dwarka of South”, is one of the most prestigious pilgrimage centers in Kerala. This temple, dedicated to the divine child form of Lord Krishna, attracts millions of devotees every year. Its rituals, harsh traditions and famous offerings like Annaprashm and Tulabharam make it unique. The pond of the temple and the daily Sheeveli procession further enhance its spiritual aura, while its cultural significance is deeply in the history and art of Kerala. The popularity of the temple can be gauged from the fact that the waiting period for some puja can be from months to years, which shows immense popularity of the temple and devotion to millions of pilgrims.
