Religion and festivities go hand in hand in India and there are many festivals celebrated across the country throughout the year. One of the most colourful temple festivals in India is celebrated in Thrissur, Kerala, in the Malyalam month of Medom (usually around April-May). The Thrissur Pooram is a spectacle like none other. The celebration is held at the Vadakkumnatha Temple and in 2013, Pooram was on April 21. Along with the festival, there is also the Thrissur Pooram exhibition that is worth visiting. In fact, 2013 is its golden jubilee year and the exhibition is on from April 1 to May 22 at the Thekkinkad Maidan, in the temple premises.
