Kollam Pooram
(
Malayalam
: ?????? ????) is a ten-day festival held every year in April in
Kollam City
in the Indian state of
Kerala
. The festival attracts a large number of people from all parts of the state and is organised in connection with the annual festival of the
Asramam Sree Krishna Swamy Temple
at Kollam's
Asramam Maidan
.
[1]
The festival has now assumed the status of a national festival attracting tourists in large numbers.
For the
kudamattom
, thirty elephants are split into two groups of fifteen representing the Thamarakulam Sri Mahaganapathy Temple and the Puthiyakavu Bhagawathy Temple. The
kudamattom
is held to the beats of a traditional
melam
. The
pooram
is followed by a firework display.
