After a break of two-and-a-half months, wedding ceremonies resumed at the Sreekrishna temple, Guruvayur, on Friday.

Nine weddings were held at the Kalyanamandapam at the East Nada of the temple between 6 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. Most had been postponed due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

No wedding ceremonies were held at the temple after March 24.

Only 10 people, including the bride and bridegroom, attended each wedding. The ceremonies were held under strict pandemic-control protocol. People underwent thermal scanning and used hand sanitisers before they were allowed into the ‘mandapam.’
