Aarattupuzha Pooram, the largest elephant stage entry in which about
70 majestically caparisoned elephants participated. Aarattupuzha is
about 14 km from Thrissur town. The famous Ayyappa temple at Aarattupuzha
is just 14 kms from Thrissur, and celebrates its annual pooram festival
during March.
The final pooram is conducted with sixty one caparisoned elephants
bearing bright coloured umbrellas and parasols, presenting an unparalleled
spectacle. The temple ensemble lends a majestic tenor to the extravaganza.Legend
has it that the patron deities of the neighbouring villages ride majestically
caparisoned tuskers to arrive in a procession at the Arattupuzha village
on the festival day.
