One day in guruvayoor

I went to guruvayoor with my parents from our campus. It takes 4 hours journey from calicut. We reached there at 6:30 pm.



We took a lodge to get freshed and went to temple at 7:30. Many pilgrims rushed into the temple becoz of summer holidays. The line was very big and a police man said that darshanam is almost impossible that day night. So we returned to our room to take dinner. After the dinner, we went to temple again to see some dance programs in the auditorium connected to temple. We enjoyed it.



There is a pooja in guruvayoor temple with elephants. They will light all the oil lamps in the temple (around 5000 oil lamps are there). One elephant will hold the gods idol and two more elephants will follow the elephant. The pooja is very nice and the temple looks extrordinary with oil lamps.



We went to lodge and came back to the temple in the morning for darshan. We went to the temple at 5'o clock in the morning. Even that time also the temple is with large croud and there was a pooja going on for new poojari. So they were allowing pilgrims five mminutes in every 30 minutes for darshan. So it took so much of time for darshan. We came out of the temple at 9:00am.



We had tiffen and started to alappy.
