At 2:00, inside the vadakkumnathan temple starts the Ilanjithara melam is one of the central attractions of the pooram, consisting of drum, trumpets, pipe and cymbal. </p><p>The pooram has a good collection of elephants (more than 50) decorated with nettipattam (decorative golden headdress), strikingly crafted Kolam, decorative bells, and ornaments. </p><p>At the end of the pooram, after the Ilanjithara melam, both Paramekkavu and Thiruvambadi groups enter the temple through the western gate, come out through the southern gate and array themselves face to face in distant places. The two groups in the presence of melam exchange colourful and crafted umbrellas competitively at the top of the elephants, called Kudamattom, which is the eye-catching attraction of the pooram. </p><p>Later all poorams conclude at Nilapaduthara near western gopuram of Vadakkunnathan Temple. 2024 pooram is on April 19th. Although, a prominently Hindu tradition, a notable feature of the pooram is its secular nature. All religious communities actively participate and play prominent roles in the festival. While most of the pandal works are crafted by the Muslim community, materials for the umbrellas for Kudamattom are offered by the churches and their members. This harmonious relationship amongst various religious groups that has been prevalent historically in the region is something Keralites are extremely proud of.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Display_of_fireworks_(main_round)"><span id="Display_of_fireworks_.28main_round.29"></span>Display of fireworks (main round)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thrissur_Pooram&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Display of fireworks (main round)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Thrissur pooram main fireworks (vedikettu / വെടിക്കെട്ട് ) are well renowned all over the country.
