Local Attraction Highlights

Punnathur Kotta (Elephant Sanctuary)

3.5 km from Temple

Once a palace of a local ruler, this fort now acts as a sanctuary housing over 50 majestic elephants belonging to the Guruvayur Devaswom. It is the largest elephant sanctuary in the world and offers an amazing experience watching elephants play, bathe, and get trained.

Mammiyoor Mahadeva Temple

1.2 km from Temple

An ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Pilgrimage custom dictates that a visit to Guruvayur is complete only after praying at the Mammiyoor Temple. Lord Shiva here is believed to have graciously relocated to make room for installing the Sree Krishna idol.

Chavakkad Beach & Lighthouse

5.0 km from Temple

A beautiful beach on the Arabian Sea coastline. Known for its serene setting, coconut groves, and a gorgeous lighthouse that offers panoramic views. The beach is a popular spot for relaxing and watching fishermen return with their evening catch.

Parthasarathy Temple

0.8 km from Temple

Located within walking distance of the main temple, this shrine is dedicated to Lord Krishna in the form of Parthasarathy (the charioteer of Arjuna on the Kurukshetra battlefield). The shrine is built in a beautiful chariot shape.
