Pooram is.a annual
temple festival held in Kerala after the summer harvest. Most pooram festivals
have ornately decorated elephants being paraded in the procession taken out of
the temple premises.
The main features of the pooram (festival) are these
decorated elephants with their nettipattam . (decorative golden headdress),
beautifuliy crafted kolam, decorative bells ,ornaments etc. Add to this is the
panchavadyam, the rhythmic beating of the drum, and what would be a cacophony
otherwise is turned into an organized but spontaneous symphony.
Today is Thrissur pooram.. The pooram of all Poorams’. It is one of the
Biggest temple festivals in Kerala. It
has been celebrated every year in the month of April (Malayalam month medam) at
Vadakkumnathan temple in the centre of Trichur city. It is believed that every
year gods and goddesses of neighboring temples will meet here for the celebration.
The two dewaswams – Thiruvampadi and Paramekkavu are the major temples to make the festival a
remarkable oneMore than 50 elephants decorated
with nettipattam (decorative golden headdress), Kolam, decorative
bells, ornaments and the umbrellas, venchamaram, and alavattam will enter the
temple through the western gate and come out through the southern gate and
array themselves, face to face. The two groups in the presence of melam,
exchange colourful and crafted umbrellas competitively at the top of the
elephants – called Kudamattom
