Chinakkathoor Bhagavathi Temple Pooram

Chinakkathoor Bhagavathi Temple Pooram : Chinakkathoor Bhagavathy Temple hosts one of the most unique and colourful Poorams (temple festivals) in Kerala. Situated in Palappuram near Ottapalam Taluk, this festival draws in people in large numbers annually. It is celebrated on Makam asterism in the Malayalam month of Kumbham. One is treated to some of the best folk art performances that Kerala has. Majestic elephants marching through the streets are among the best sights seen during this Pooram. The accompanying panchavadyam and pandimelam (traditional orchestra) add to the grand spectacle. Pulikali performances are also seen along with the constant beat of drums reverberating through the air. People of all religions and castes come together to celebrate this great occasion every single year.

The elephant pageantry is the main attraction. Caparisoned elephants are the centrepiece of the celebration. One can see them with flowing venchamarams (white tufts) and exquisite Aalavattams (peacock feather fans). A large number of folk art performances take place during this time period as well. It is one among the best times to visit this wonderful locale in Thrissur district.
