The Prime Minister, after attending the wedding ceremony of actor-turned-politician Suresh Gopi's daughter at the Lord Krishna Temple in nearby Guruvayur, offered prayers at the Sree Ramaswamy temple situated on the bank of the Karuvannur river, also known as Theevra river
Arriving at a helipad in Valapad around 9.45 am after offering prayers at the Guruvayur temple, Prime Minister Modi then made his way to the Triprayar temple, just a few kilometres away
Along the route to the temple, the people gathered on both sides of the road showered his sedately moving vehicle with flowers, waved BJP flags and chanted his name
At the temple, PM Modi, dressed in the traditional attire of 'mundu' (dhoti) and 'veshti' (white shawl), also carried out the 'meen oottu' (fish feeding) ritual there
Spending more than an hour at the temple, he later proceeded to Kochi, where he will take part in public and party functions
While leaving the Triprayar temple, PM Modi stood on the footboard of his vehicle to wave at the people gathered on the roadsides for one more glimpse of the PM and bid him farewell
The Triprayar temple is dedicated to Lord Ram, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu, depicted with four arms holding a conch, a discus, a bow, and a garland
