Arattupuza PooramDate: 19, Mar 2019Venue: Sree Sastha TempleLocation: Arattupuzha, ThrissurThe annual festival at Arattupuzha is also termed as the mother of all pooram festivals in Kerala, due to its sheer magnitude and grandeur.
Visitors from nearby and far off places reach the village of Arattupuzha during the festival days, to be part of this grand festival.
The pinnacle of excitement and devotion during the seven-day festival is obviously the last two days.
By sunrise, the elephants carrying deities from neighbouring temples that had gathered at the Sree Sastha Temple at Arattupuzha would proceed to the nearby river for the aarattu ceremony.
The last to undergo the aarattu would be Lord Ayyappa, the presiding deity of the Sree Sastha temple at Arattupuzha.
