Nestled in Mayur Vihar, East Delhi, the Uttara Guruvayurappan Temple offers a spiritual sanctuary dedicated to Lord Krishna. Enshrined here as Guruvayurappan, a form worshipped in the famed Kerala temple of Guruvayur, the deity draws devotees, particularly from the Malayali and Tamil communities in Delhi. The temple's architecture reflects its Keralan roots, with two grand gopurams (gateway towers) flanking the eastern and western entrances. Inside the sanctum sanctorum, two chambers house the idols of Lord Krishna and Bhagavati. Surrounding the main shrine, devotees will find smaller temples dedicated to Ganesha, Shiva, Ayyappa, and even a replica of the Sarpa Kavu, honoring the Naga Devatas (snake deities). Adding to the temple's serene atmosphere are the enchanting arti rituals. While specific timings might change, you can inquire upon arrival or check their website (if available). But what truly sets the temple apart is the mesmerizing spectacle of hundreds of diyas (oil lamps) illuminating the grounds every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. These evenings transform the temple into a captivating display of devotion, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors.

Guruvayoor temple is one of most beautiful temple's in Delhi, majorly visited by South Indian devotees. The place has space for multiple marriages at a same time. The place has good devotional powers. I have been to place for multiple marriages, and the good part is the arrangement and feel at the place. There are marriage hall which has more than 3 floors and each floor can have one function at a time. Multiple catering services are available at the place and each one them offer tasty food. Since it is a temple only vegetarian food can be included in the menu. On can choose from South Indian menu or North Indian menu or even mixed menu as option. The decoration is usually same for all kind of functions. The temple also has facility for other kind of southern cultural things. Visit the place for devotional, foodies and functions at a same time. It is a beautiful temple.
