Location
[edit]
Guruvayur Assembly Constituency lies in Chavakkad Taluk. Chavakkad is the lone Taluk of Thrissur district, which entirely lies in the erstwhile British Malabar. Chavakkad Taluk was created in 1956-57 by dividing the Ponnani taluk of erstwhile Malabar District. Present-day Chavakkad Taluk and much of the coastal region of Thrissur district were ruled by the Zamorin of Calicut until the 18th century. Guruvayur constituency shares its boundary with the Ponnani constituency of Malappuram district to the north, Kunnamkulam constituency to the northeast, and Manalur constituency both to southeast and south.
In 1994, the then Guruvayoor constituency had around 47% Muslims, 45% Hindus and 8% others.
