Thrissur Pooram, one of Kerala’s grandest and most vibrant temple festivals, will be celebrated on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Held annually at the historic Vadakkunnathan Temple in Thrissur, this event brings together culture, devotion, and spectacular pageantry in one unforgettable celebration.

Thrissur Pooram 2025 Date and Time

Thrissur Pooram takes place during the Malayalam month of Medam, when the moon aligns with the Pooram Nakshathram (star). It is a deeply spiritual and cultural festival observed with great fervor across the state. The highlight of the festival is the ceremonial gathering of deities from various temples in and around Thrissur, all coming together to pay homage to Lord Vadakkunnathan, the presiding deity of the Vadakkunnathan Temple.

A Grand Convergence of Temples

On this auspicious day, temples from nearby regions bring their deities to Thrissur in elaborately organized processions. These processions are accompanied by the resonant rhythms of traditional instruments such as Chenda Melam and Pancha Vadyam, creating an electrifying atmosphere that echoes throughout the city.

Elephants, Ornaments, and Music

One of the most iconic visuals of Thrissur Pooram is the majestic line-up of more than 50 caparisoned elephants, each adorned with intricate golden ornaments, vibrant parasols, and decorative fans. These elephants are not just part of the procession—they are a major attraction, symbolizing grandeur and cultural pride.

The festival is also marked by fireworks displays, cultural performances, and a massive turnout of devotees and tourists alike, all gathering to witness this grand celebration of Kerala’s spiritual and artistic heritage.

Why Thrissur Pooram is Special

Unlike many other temple festivals, Thrissur Pooram is not confined to a single temple or community. It is a people’s festival, uniting different religious institutions, artists, and spectators in a collective celebration that transcends boundaries. The coordination, discipline, and sheer scale of the festival have made it one of India’s most celebrated cultural events.

As the Pooram Nakshathram falls on May 7, 2025, devotees and tourists can look forward to a mesmerizing experience in Thrissur. Whether you're drawn by spiritual devotion, traditional music, or the grandeur of Kerala's temple culture, Thrissur Pooram offers an unforgettable glimpse into the state’s rich heritage.

Mark your calendars—Thrissur will come alive on May 7, 2025, and it’s a celebration you won’t want to miss.
