Preparations begin for Pooram

Thrissur city is under Pooram fever. While the Paramekkavu wing has already started the work of pandal at Manikandanal, Thiruvambadi’s pandal work at Naikanal and Naduvilal will start on Friday.

Thrissur Poroam will be celebrated on April 25 this time. Paramekkavu and Thiruvambadi Bhagavathis will be taken back to their respective temples on April 26 after Upacharam Cholli Piraiyal ritual.

Sample fireworks will be held on 23 while the exhibition of elephant accoutrements will be held on April 24.

Though confusion over conduct of fireworks still persists, the ministers from Thrissur have assured the Thiruvambadi and Paramekkavu Devaswoms that there would not be any problem in conducting fireworks.
