Yesterday, we set out for Guruvayur to attend a family wedding. The drive itself carried the familiar excitement and calm that only a trip to this holy town can bring.
We stayed at KTDC Nandanam, the modern-day incarnation of the old Travellers’ Bungalow.

Though updated with modern comforts, the place still holds that charm of being a welcoming stopover for pilgrims and visitors.

For me, Guruvayur is not just another destination—it is the abode of Lord Mahavishnu, my guiding light and eternal guardian. I owe everything I have achieved in life to His blessings. Every visit feels like a spiritual recharge, a moment of transcendence that no other place can match.
The occasion was the wedding of my cousin’s daughter—a simple yet beautiful celebration. It turned into a warm family get-together, with cousins and relatives sharing laughter, memories, and joy.
By evening, we returned to Palakkad, but as always, Guruvayur left us with a deep sense of peace. A visit here is never just a trip; it is a soulful experience that refreshes the mind and heart.
