Thrissur Pooram 2013

This year Thrissur Pooram was on a Sunday so I set out to click some pics as usual. The heat did not seem to have stopped people from coming to Thrissur Pooram. It was as alive as any other year. Here are some pics.

The colorful morning of Thrissur Pooram 2013

Workers getting the pits ready for the early morning fireworks

The historical Vidyarthi Corner has a mural drawn by some unknown artist with colored chalk

A close look at the mural will show you how the artist has made use of the original “No bills please” sign on the wall

An atrocious waste of water at the peak of a summer like this, but it helps cooling the elephants’ feet
