The Guruvayur temple is a major historic Krishna temple in Kerala. The site is a pre-10th century tirtha mentioned in Sanskrit literature, and it has been rebuilt repeatedly after its desecration. The current temple complex structure is from the 17th-century with some 14th-century structure. The complex was restored in the 20th-century.

The Guruvayur temple is also called Dwarka of the south. The complex has two entrance gateways (gopurams) called the kizhakkenada and the padinjarenada. It has a notable 70 feet tall, gold plated dhwajastambham (flag staff). The complex includes a water tank and many shrines. The main shrine is for Krishna. It has a square floor-plan. Other shrines are for Ganesha, Bhagavathy, Ayyappa and others.

The complex hosts many festivals and Indian classical performances. These include the Ekadasi, Chembai music utsav, Chaitanya utsav with Vedi Vazhupadu fireworks, Mandala puja for Sabarimala pilgrims, Navaratri with Saraswati puja, Onam, Vishu and Vaishaka utsav. It is also a site popular for Hindu rites-of-passage rituals.
