Here's the scoop: The High Court of Kerala has made a big decision about how people visit the famous Guruvayoor Sree Krishna Temple. They want to make it easier for everyone to get in without waiting forever.
The temple, located in Thrissur, Kerala, sees a massive number of visitors daily. People have been complaining about standing in line for hours. This problem gets worse during special festivals like Ekadashi and Vishu.
The main people in this case are:
On November 21, 2025, Judges Raja Vijayaraghavan V and K. V. Jayakumar delivered their decision. They want the temple to think about how to manage crowds better.
"The Managing Committee must ensure a dignified darshan experience and prevent misconduct by staff."
The temple had tried an online system during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was stopped. The court thinks a mix of online and offline systems might work best.
The temple says it's hard to predict the exact timing of rituals, which makes scheduling darshan tricky. They also had issues with people arguing over who gets priority.
The temple's Managing Committee has two months to come up with a plan and report back to the court.
This decision is all about making sure everyone can have a peaceful and respectful visit to one of India's most beloved temples.
