Uthralikavu Pooram, Hindu temple festival in Vadakkanchery, India
The Uthralikavu Pooram temple celebration takes place in a valley between hills, with processions of 33 decorated elephants and firework displays.
The temple, dedicated to Goddess Mahakali, stands as one of central Kerala's ancient shrines, connected through traditions to the Chelakkara Devi temple.
The festival brings together participants from three regions - Enkakkavu, Kumaranellur, and Vadakkanchery, each contributing eleven elephants to the procession.
The temple location, two kilometers north of Vadakkanchery along the Kodungallur-Shornur highway, provides access near the railway tracks for festival visitors.
The natural valley formation between the surrounding hills creates specific acoustic effects during the festival's elaborate fireworks displays.
