Kerala temple set for wedding rush, 377 booked

Kerala temple set for wedding rush, 377 booked

A famous temple in Kerala called the Guruvayur Sree Krishna temple is getting ready for a very busy day.

On August 23, 377 couples plan to get married there.

That is a lot of weddings in just one day!

The temple helpers say even more couples might book, so the number could pass 400.

Many more weddings are already planned for August 30 too.

Weddings will start very early in the morning, at 4 am, so everyone can get their turn.

Six special wedding stages, called mandapams, are being set up.

Only a small number of people can stand near the stage because it will be so crowded.

The temple is also bringing in extra staff, security and police to help everything go smoothly.

Last year, the temple saw a record 334 weddings in a single day, but this time there will be even more.
