It
was
Wonderful
experience
from
here..
The
Vrischikolsavam
are
famous
festival
in
this
temple..The
ulsavam
start
from
here..
Tripunithura
Temple
is
the
temple
with
maximum
number
of
festivals
in
a
calendar
year.
The
Vrischikolsavam
festival
of
Sree
Poornathrayeesa
Temple
is
the
most
important
one.
Tripunithura
Temple
Vrischikolsavam
2021
date
is
December
2
to
December
8.
The
8-day
festival
is
observed
in
such
a
manner
that
it
ends
on
the
Thiruvonam
nakshatra
day
in
Vrischikam
month.
The
festival
is
also
known
as
Anguradi
festival.
The
festival
is
a
rare
occasion
to
listen
to
all
traditional
Kerala
temple
music.
Melam,
Panchavadyam,
Thayambaka,
Madhalapattu,
Kombu
Pattu,
Kuzhal
Pattu
etc
are
performed
during
the
8-day
festival.
The
main
highlight
of
the
festival
is
Ezhunnallippu
(procession
of
the
utsava
murti
of
the
temple
atop
than
elephant).
Fifteen
caparisoned
elephants
accompany
the
deity
with
Panchari
Melam
as
music.
Panchari
Melam
with
all
its
perfection
is
performed
in
the
temple
during
the
festival
and
it
lasts
for
about
3.5
hours.
Panchari
Melam
is
followed
by
adantha
melam
and
conclude
with
the
third
and
fourth
division
of
the
chembada
melam,
which
is
famous
here
as
nadapura
melam.
Thrikketta
Purappadu
Fourth
day
of
the
festival
is
known
as
Thrikketta
Purappadu.
Vilwamangalam
Swamiyar
visited
the
temple
during
the
festival
period
and
found
the
divine
presence
in
the
procession
and
not
in
the
sanctum
sanctorum
of
the
temple.
So
it
is
believed
that
the
deity
leaves
the
sanctum
sanctorum
and
visits
the
devotees
during
the
procession.
The
procession
takes
at
night
before
a
huge
crowd
who
makes
various
offerings
including
money.
The
Kathakali
and
Carnatic
music
performed
during
the
8-day
festival
is
noted
for
the
participation
of
famous
artists.
Some
of
the
world
renowned
musicians
of
South
India
gave
their
best
music
performance
in
the
temple.
Some
of
the
temple
arts
like
Kurathiyattam,
Ottamthullal,Seethankan
Thullal,
Patakom
and
Sandhya
kali
are
performed
during
the
festival.
