Usually any person, devotee or pilgrim who commits in front of Lord Guruvayur of revisiting the temole and performing Tulabhram after the fulfillment of his or her prayer. About 1200 kgs of lotus flowers were used in the ceremony reveal sources.

He added that Kerala is as dear to him as is Varanasi, the constituency he won from for the second cosecutive term.

From Kerala the Prime minister would go to Andhra Pradesh to visit one more ancient temple and thereafter to Maldives.
