Guruvayur Temple Hosts Record 437 Weddings in One Day in Kerala
The Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple in Kerala held a record 437 weddings on a single day, marking the highest number in its history. The ceremonies began early morning, with around 137 weddings conducted within two hours across six mandapams. To manage the large gathering, the Devaswom Board restricted devotees' access, limited attendees per wedding to 24, and deployed over 100 police personnel along with medical support. The first Sunday of the Malayalam month of Chingam is considered auspicious for marriages, contributing to the high number of weddings.
