The name Guruvayur is a combination of three words, ?Guru? that stands for the Guru Brihaspati, ?Vayu? comes from the ubiquitous Wind God and ?Oor? meaning land in Malayalam. The place is named so following a myth. The story says Brihaspati found an idol of Lord Krishna at the beginning of the Kaliyug. The reverent Guru then consecrated the idol along with the Wind God, Vayu. Hence, the place came to be known as Guruvayur. This idol of Lord Krishna at the Guruvayurappan Temple is one of the leading attractions of Guruvayur. The idol has four arms carrying the Conch, the Sudarshan Chakra, the Koumudaki and a lotus. This temple is counted to be the fourth largest temple in India considering the influx of devotees per day. This temple is also known as ?Bhooloka Vaikuntam? which means ?Abode of Lord Vishnu on Earth?. Though non-Hindus were prohibited on entering the temple, people of other faith can still have a look at the temple from outside.
