Pooram is the spectacular festival of light and color, percussion
and elephants. It is the most colorful temple festival of Kerala,
which attracts large masses of devotees and spectators from all part
of the state and Globe.
Celebrated
in April-May, it consists of processions of rich caparisoned
elephants from various neighboring temples to the Vadakunnatha
Temple. This is a two century old festival of procession of
caparisoned elephants and enthralling performances in a never ending
succession is an 36 hours marathon event of incredible beauty, a
feast for the eye and the ear, unfolding between 6 am to 12 noon the

is participated and conducted by people across all barriers of
religion and caste.
The most impressive processions are those from the Krishna Temple at
Thiruvambadi and the Devi Temple at Paramekkavu, both situated in
the town itself. The hours-long dazzling fire works submerge the
Thrissur city of Kerala in an ocean of color. The commissioning of
elephants and parasols is done in the utmost secrecy by each party
to excel the other. Commencing in the early hours of the morning,
the celebrations last till the break of dawn, the next day.
