Guruvayur is preparing for an exceptionally busy day, as 409 weddings have already been booked at the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple for September 13, 2026. The date falls on the last Sunday of the Malayalam month of Chingam, a period traditionally considered auspicious for marriages. Bookings can continue until the eve of the ceremonies, meaning the final number could rise further.
A Guruvayur wedding is especially meaningful for many families because couples seek the blessings of Guruvayurappan while beginning their married life. With hundreds of ceremonies expected on the same day, the temple authorities are making extensive arrangements to manage the crowds and ensure that both wedding parties and devotees can move safely.
The wedding ceremonies are scheduled to begin as early as 4 AM, with six mandapams arranged for the thalikettu ceremony. Additional temple staff and police personnel will be deployed, while the eastern entrance will operate with one-way movement to control the expected rush. CCTV surveillance and security measures will also be strengthened.
The preparations highlight how popular Guruvayur remains as a wedding destination in Kerala. For couples planning a Guruvayur wedding, the upcoming September 13 rush also emphasizes the importance of advance planning, punctuality, and following temple guidelines.
