Guruvayur Keshavan
As Keshavan's name and fame increased, the Devaswom board gave him the unique title Gajarajan (King of elephants) in 1973.According to Guruvayur lore, Valiya Raja of Nilambur once prayed to the Lord to save his family and property from the enemies' attack.He fasted for the entire day and dropped down facing the direction of the temple with his trunk raised as a mark of prostration.[6] The Guruvayur Devaswom erected a life-size statue of Keshavan in its precincts as tribute to the services he rendered to the presiding deity of the temple.The story of Gajarajan Guruvayur Keshavan was portrayed in a television serial on Surya TV (2009—2010), as scripted by Pradeep Sivasankar.
