TrichurAlso the cultural capital of kerala. Trichur is famed for and wide for its pooram festival. This town is also a veritable treasure trove of history. The sylvan beauty of Northern Kerala begins here, with tiny, tranquil hamlets by the sides of tediously flowing rivers. A cultural center, the Kerala Kalamandalam, the Kerala Sahitya Academy and Kerala Sangeetha Nadaka Academy are located here.
The most spectacular festival is Pooram celebrated at the Vadakkumnathan Temple every year during April-May. Though non- Hindus are not allowed inside the temple, Kerala’s grandest temple pageantry, which included colourful processions of caparisoned elephants and a midnight fireworks display, can be witnessed from the crowded streets of Trichur.
