The Shree Krishna idol in the Guruvayoor Temple is believed to have been worshipped by Vasudeva and Devaki at Dwaraka. According to a popular local legend, when the real Dwarka was washed away by a deluge, a devotee of Lord Krishna was able to preserve this idol from getting submerged under the sea. It was this very idol that was later established at the Guruvayoor Temple. The divine image is believed to have curative properties and is capable of healing difficult physical ailments.
