The Arattupuzha Pooram, held at the Sree Sastha Temple in Thrissur, Kerala, is renowned as the oldest temple festival in the Indian subcontinent. Lasting for seven days, this festival is a vibrant confluence of various traditions from across Kerala, earning it the title of “Mother of all Poorams.” Believers hold that during this period, a divine ‘conclave’ takes place, with all Gods and Goddesses assembling at the festival grounds.
