Guruvayoor has emerged as one of the most important places of worship in Southern India along with the likes of Tirupathi and Sabarimala.
3 km away from the temple premises is the Guruvayur Devaswom elephant sanctuary -one of the largest elephant sanitarium in the world, also known as Punnathurkotta.
