Located in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala, Guruvayur is known for having one of the most revered temples of Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Due to the large number of devotees visiting Guruvayur Temple Pond, many points of interest are structured around it. A couple of the attractions within walking distance are the temple museum, Guruvayur Devaswom Museum, and the other revered temple, Mammiyur Sri Mahadeva Temple. Meanwhile, for clear waters and a stunning sunset over the Arabian Sea, drive 5.3 km (3.3 mi) out of town to Chavakkad Beach. Moreover, the city of Thrissur is 25.7 km (16 mi) away, and the nearest international airport is Cochin International Airport 77.7 km (48.3 mi) away.
