Place of Public Worship designation confirms tax-deduction eligibility for donations to Shri Krishna Temple. The Central Government, exercising powers under sub section 2(b) of section 80G of the Income tax Act, 1961, notifies Shri Krishna Temple, Guruvayur, to be a place of public worship of renown for the purposes of that section, thereby recognising the temple for the tax deduction benefits afforded to donations to qualifying public worship institutions.
