The Guruvayur Devaswom Board has decided to stop darshan as well as weddings at Sree Krishna Temple from Saturday, Kerala Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran has said.
He told reporters here on Friday that the board decided to stop darshan because of the increase in COVID-19 cases in Thrissur district, and the neighbouring Chavakkad turning into a containment zone.
The board would intimate those who had booked for marriages on Sunday and Monday. It had informed the government of its decision, and the government had given its go-ahead. The government was against crowding in all public places, including temples, Mr. Surendran said.
The respective Devaswoms could take a call on permitting darshan, he said.
Mr. Surendran said two weddings, which had already been booked for Saturday, would be conducted. After a break of 80 days, the temple opened on June 5 when the lockdown restrictions were relaxed.
