Modi wears traditional 'mundu', visits Guruvayur temple

Clad in a traditional Kerala 'mundu' (dhoti) and a round-neck half sleeve kurta, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Guruvayur in Thrissur district Saturday and offered prayers.

He changed into the customary white mundu and shawl before going to the famed Lord Krishna temple.

Modi then addressed the BJP workers of the state.

Beginning his 35-minute-long speech in Malayalam, Modi said, "My dear brothers and sisters, may you all have blessings of Guruvayoorappan (Lord Krishna of Guruvayur temple)."
