Anayottam (Elephant race) is the race held every year at Sree Krishna Temple Guruvayur in Thrissur district of Kerala. The race marks the beginning of the 10-day annual temple festival celebrated in the month of February- March. It is a race to win the honour to carry the Thidambu – the replica of the idol of Guruvayoorappan, on all special occasions of the temple for the next one-year. The race covers about half a kilometer distance from Manjulal, at the eastern end of the temple road, to the main entrance of the temple.
