A blissful early morning visit to see Lord Guruvayurappa is always on our to do list whenever I get to visit Kerala. It is always an amazing experience to visit this place. This time we were lucky to see the Guruvayur elephant Keshavan(he is very huge and cute at the same time), we even offered bananas for him to eat and he finished it in seconds. Overall experience was as usual.. Amazing!!

This temple dedicated to Sri Tirupati Balaji is situated in Guruvayur . Legend has it that around 1000 years ago ,a devotee of Lord Balaji came here and expressed his wish to Lord Krishna to establish a temple for the Vishnu Lord. He got permission and then built this temple . Built in typical Kerala style sloped roofs , very nice ambience inside the temple premises. You can do lots of poojas in here . Tranquil and peaceful

Chowalloor Shiva Temple is situated 3 kms away from the famous Guruvayur Sri Krishna temple. It is said that this Shiva temple is 1000 years old and considered one of 108 Shivalayas or abodes of Shiva. The legend has it the deity of Thrissur Sree Vadakunnatha Temple manifested himself on an umbrella carried by one of his devotees from Chowalloor Mazhavannoor Mana, who used to walk all the way to Thrissur to daily pay homage to the Lord. When he became too old to walk and worship Shiva regularly, the Lord is believed to have accompanied him to Chowalloor. The Swayambhoo idol of Lord Siva is seen facing west in the temple, whereas his consort Goddess Parvati is facing east, which reflects that the showering blessings in all directions. Very peaceful and powerful place . There is a Lord Krishna temple too adjacent to the Siva temple.

This is a Shiva temple and it is believed that Lord Shiva was first to offer prayer to Lord Vishnu at the Guruvayur temple and the pilgrimage to Guruvayur only completes when you offer prayer at the Mammiyur Shiva temple. Very calm place with no rush. You can get darshan with out any difficulties or waiting period.

It is a feast for the eyes to see them in such a large number. Every body visiting the sanctuary will surely enjoy the activities of the elephants- some are playing, some are eating, some are dancing and wow -some are sprinkling soil on their head !
