History
This festival was earlier held at Arrattupuzha when all other temples in and around Thrissur used to come with the Ezhunellapa (procession of the god/goddess) and celebrate this pooram festival for a day as a tradition, for around 200 odd years. Eventually the festival lost it charms to the fights between the various temple boards.
The then ruler Sakthan Thampuran organised this event as a mass festival and created a venue near ‘Vadakkunnathan temple’, (Lord Shiva) to organise the procession from all 10 temples situated nearby. The festival now is celebrated at the Thekkinkadu maidan, near the Vadakunnathan temple.
