Sree Guruvayurappan Temple

The word Guruvayurappan, meaning “Lord of Guruvayoor”, comes from the words “Guru” referring to “Brihaspati”, the Guru of the Devas, ”Vayus”, the God of Wind, and ”Appan”, meaning ‘father’ or ‘Lord’ in Malayam. Since Guru and Vayu installed Krishna’s deity, the name Guruvayoorappan was given to the deity.
