Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will fly from here to Guruvayoor to offer to prayers at the famed Sri Krishna Temple, will make various offerings worth around Rs 40,000.
Modi arrived in Kochi late Friday night. He will fly to the temple town in a helicopter from the Cochin Naval base.
According to authorities, Modi is expected to be in the temple for an hour where he will be offering various items including ghee, a special variety of red plantain (kathali), a 'tulabharam' with lotus flowers, among other things.
Modi had visited the temple in 2008 soon after he became the Chief Minister of Gujarat for a second time.
After completing his visit to the temple, Modi will address a public rally near here following which he will return to Delhi in the afternoon.
