Uthralikavu Pooram




Uthralikavu Pooram is the main festival celebrated in Sree Ruthira Mahakalikavu Temple in Wadakanchery, Thrissur District. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali.

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.
