Revellers packed the streets on Sunday to soak in festive spirit of Thrissur Pooram, where religious ardour mingled with carnival spirit.
The festival kept its promise to be picture perfect. It was religiously conservative and yet headily carnivalesque. More than 100 majestic jumbos on parade, exciting rhythm of percussion ensembles, religious ceremonies and breathtaking fireworks were on offer for the Pooram lovers.
As expected, a large number of people poured into the Thekkinkadu maidan since the morning to savour the festival glory. It was fun with roaring crowds, hypnotic drummers and pipers and plenty of eating and drinking.
