Krishna Temple, located in Guruvayur, in Kerala - a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. He is considered one of the holiest places of Kerala, and is also known as Bhuloka Vaikunta, which translated means "sacred abode of Krishna in the world."

It is believed that the temple was built more than a thousand years ago, although the exact date of its establishment is unknown. The architecture of the building itself is quite simple, but in spite of this, it looks grand and noble.

The main attraction of the temple is a large statue depicting Krishna with four hands, holding the sacred conch Panchayanya, Kaumodaki mace, lotus garland of basil and magic disk with serrated edges called Sudarshan Chakra. The statue is completely carved from a single piece of stone "patalandzhana."

People believe that the prayer of Krishna in the temple can bring healing from various diseases, physical disabilities and injuries.

Men should be stripped to the waist, and also wearing Mungiu - the veil, which is wrapped around the waist, although sometimes the breast is allowed to cover a small piece of tissue "veshthi." Women should be dressed in a sari. Only just recently representatives of the beautiful half of humanity allowed when visiting the temple be dressed in salwar kameez, or as it is called churidar-kameez - the traditional "trouser" suit the Indian subcontinent. In contrast to the northern regions of India in the southern part of women should not cover their heads in church.
