The pooram is held during the month of February. The procession of the caparisoned elephants, during the day and night, accompanied by the resounding Panchavadyam and the Pandimelam is awe-inspiring. There are colorful events along with rituals and folk art performances in the evenings. The glow of the traditional temple lamps provides an eye-catching view. The festivities end with the spectacular all-night pooram pageant on the last day, the highlight of the festival.
