Guruvayur Satyagraha

• The Guruvayur Satyagraha was organized in Kerala in 1931 demanding that Guruvayur Temple be open to all.

• The trustee of the Guruvayur Temple, then Zamorin, rejected Gandhiji's request to open the temple to all Hindus irrespective of caste. In protest, K. Kelappan went on a hunger strike before the temple.

• P. Krishna Pillai and A. K. Gopalan also took up the leadership of the Satyagraha. The Satyagraha resulted in securing the right to enter temples for all Hindus.
