Thrissur Pooram is coming up. It’s a Malayam festival celebrated in Kerala. It’s a huge attraction where elephants are richly decorated with gold headdresses. Everything about this festival is big. The elephants are big, and so are the fireworks display. The music consists of a drum procession, along with a colorful umbrella display. The whole purpose of the festival is to pay respects to the deity Shiva. The Vadakkunnathan Temple is the largest and oldest temples dedicated to Shiva in Kerala. At the temple visitors make offerings.

Did you see all those people? It’s amazing how the elephants don’t get scared!

What a great way to end the festival.
