Hi @TravellerG ,

Wow, I am speechless! You know it’s going to be a great spectacle when two big temples decide to outdo one another with a festival.

I agree with @MortenSI that those elephants look gorgeous–the decorations, the umbrellas, the quiet dignity they exude.

The thing that really made me go ‘wow!’ though, was the part about the fireworks. An hour of fireworks, that must be wild to witness! Do people stay and watch until the end?

Yes dear @DeniGu - some times ‘the fireworks’ prolongs up to 4 hours & the crowed hangs around to witness the ‘varieties’ & the grand Ending session!, which is very unique…

Hi @NareshDarji , as against normal photography, due to ‘Heavy Rush’, framing and shooting - both are very difficult - we tend to loose many shots here,

thanks for your response.

This year (2019) Pooram festival I have participated. Excellent. Very difficult to manage to see the festival proceedings as it is very much crowded. To witness the famous Koda matam and Eljitha melam is very Himalayan task. I suggest to visit other temple festival around Trissur district and enjoy all events which is very less crowded as compared to Trissur pooram

You are very true dear LG @Abijoseph

Appreciate your comment.

But, the feel of Thrissur Pooram is some thing different… is it not?

Thanks for your response!

Dear @Abijoseph

Can I humbly suggest few points?

  1. If you can use ‘@’ & the username, the person will get Notification - here is a post on Tagging - hope it will be useful.

  2. I saw your Chennai Museum - a post long back!? why can’t you come more active ? Any help, let me know.

@TravellerG Ya it a awesome experience to witness the magnificent Kodamattam, Ilajithara melam and Fireworks but you should have lots of patience , energy and endurance to wait in hot sun. If you want to see Ilajitha melam you should enter the temple atleast one and half hour before the melam otherwise entry to temple is stopped till melam completes . Like wise for kodamatam also. For fire work you should be there atleast 2 Am the fire wolk begins only at 4 AM
