Thrissur Pooram is known for the parade of richly caparisoned jumbos, performance of traditional music ensembles, fireworks and a sea of cheering people. Last year also, the Pooram festival was held in a low key manner amid COVID-19 lockdown curbs with just a handful of people and inevitable rituals inside the famous Vadakkunnathan temple. The police also decided to restrict vehicle movement in Thrissur city on April 23 and 24.
Meanwhile, police said no business, barring medical shops, will be allowed in and around Swaraj Round in the Thrissur city on Pooram day. The 'khadaka Pooram (small pooram) from nearby temples will be carried out as per the custom, officials said.
The Devaswoms will organise pooram fireworks in a controlled manner, they said. District authorities said "kudamattam or exchange of decorated umbrellas, which is one of the iconic events during the pooram, will be held symbolically."
