Guruvayur brims with devotion on Ashtami Rohini
Long queues formed before dawn at Sreekrishna Temple as devotees seek darshan of Guruvayurappan; thousands take part in special Prasadam feast
On Ashtami Rohini, Guruvayur was filled with devotion and festivities as Lord Krishna's birth anniversary was celebrated. Thousands of devotees flocked to the Sreekrishna Temple for darshan and special rituals. The excitement started well before sunrise, with hundreds of devotees queuing up the night before to be among the first to witness Nirmalya Darshan upon the temple's opening.
Once the sanctum doors opened, the flow of devotees continued unabated. By morning, the darshan queue had extended past the East Nada and reached the special pandal at the Kausthubham complex. Due to restricted special darshan arrangements, devotees in the general queue were able to have darshan more easily. Water and slices of watermelon were provided to those in the lengthy queues.
Additionally, thousands of devotees participated in the Ashtami Rohini Prasada Oottu organized at the Sree Guruvayurappan auditorium.
