'Anyottam' or the elephant race is a unique ritual that marks the start of the annual festival at the famous Guruvayoor Temple in Thrissur District. Elephants are lined up at the Manjulal, a huge banyan tree about half a kilometer away from the temple by noon.
Guruvayoor is easily accessible by road and rail. The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport which is about 78kms away. The Coimbatore Airport is about 156kms away.
