Thiruvillwamala Parakkottukavu Thalappoli 2025, ചില ഉത്സവ കാഴ്ച്ചകൾ

Parakkottukavu Thalappoli is a vibrant annual festival celebrated at the Parakkottukavu Temple in Thiruvilwamala, near the famous Vilwadrinatha Temple. The festival, dedicated to Goddess Kali, spans thirteen days and culminates on the last Sunday of the Malayalam month of Medam (mid-May). The "Thalappoli" event itself is marked by processions featuring colorfully adorned elephants and is particularly renowned for its spectacular fireworks display on the final day, often compared to those of the famous Thrissur Pooram. The festivities are a joint effort of the local Kizhakkumuri Desam, Padinjattumuri Desam, and Pampady Desam, following traditional rituals.
