Guruvayur, Religion, and Electoral Politics in Keralam Guruvayur cannot be understood as a bounded or purely sacred space restricted to a single faith. Rather, it is a historically produced and continuously negotiated sociopolitical formation. Its present-day visibility as a politically sensitive site where religion, governance, and identity intersect must be situated within a longer history of coastal interactions, plural religious presence, and shifting regimes of power.
