Guruvayur Assembly constituency lies in [[Chavakkad]] [[Tehsil|taluk]]. [[Chavakkad]] is the lone taluk of [[Thrissur district]], which entirely lies in the erstwhile [[Malabar District|British Malabar]]. [[Chavakkad]] Taluk was created in 1956-57 by dividing [[Ponnani taluk]] of the 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 Assembly constituency shares its boundary with [[Ponnani Assembly constituency]] of [[Malappuram district]] to the north, [[Kunnamkulam Assembly constituency]] to the northeast, and [[Manalur Assembly constituency]] both to southeast and south.<br />
<br />
In 1994, Guruvayoor Assembly constituency was composed of around 47% Muslims, 45% Hindus and 8% Christians.<br />
