It is one of the most important places of worship for Hindus of Kerala and is often referred to as "Bhuloka Vaikunta" which translates to the "Holy Abode of Vishnu on Earth".The presiding deity of the Guruvayur Temple is Vishnu, worshipped in the form of Krishna.

This image represents the majestic form of Vishnu as revealed to Krishna's parents Vasudeva and Devaki around the time of Krishna's birth; hence Guruvayur is also known as "Dwarka of South India".

On the cruise, you will pass through rural areas and will be able to spot local fishermen fishing by indigenous methods and if you are lucky, even buy some fresh catch. You will also come across regions that produce coir and see workers working on coir products. All this from the cosy comfort of the sundeck of our houseboat.
Kathakali is the most popular traditional dance form of Kerala. It is an aesthetic blend of dance, music and acting. The kathakali music follows the traditional sopana sangeet of Kerala. This is performed mostly in evenings. This art form dramatizes stories, adapted from the epics of India. Researching the origin of this art form, it is learnt that it has evolved from many social and religious theatrical forms which existed in the southern part of India in ancient times. The ritual performing arts of Kerala such as Chakiarkoothu, Koodiyattom, Krishnanattam and Ramanattam had a direct influence on Kathakali. As a stylized art form, it has a perfect combination of abhinaya characteristics such as angika, aharya, vachika, satvika, nritya and natya. Typically a Kathakali performance commences with Kelikottu, which calls the attention of the audience and it is followed by todayam, a devotional performance. Purappadu, a pure nritta piece comes as a sequel to this. After Melappada and Tiranokku, the play actually begins.
Kalaripayattu is a martial art, which has its origin from Kerala state of South India, particularly in Northern Malabar region of Kerala. It is acknowledged across the world as a pride of Kerala.

In this art form, we can find feats such as Chattom (jumping), ottam (running) and marichil (somersault). In this performance, we can also find the usage of weapons such as swords, daggers, spears, maces, and bows and arrows. We can discover a perfect and aesthetic coordination between mind and body in this art form.
