Shaking the bells tied around their waist the ‘tigers’ will roam the streets on Friday. That is when Pulikkali, Thrissur’s hallmark street pageant, will be held with all its rustic charm.
Around 250 tigers from five dens will make a royal entry to the city by 4 p.m. This year, teams from Ayyanthole, Viyyur, Sitaram Mill Line, Sakthan, and Kanattukara will enthral the audience. Accompanied by country drums, they will move along the city streets. Tableaux and floats will add colour to the processions.
While Sitaram, Kanattukara and Ayyanthole teams will reach the Swaraj Round through M.G. Road, Sakthan team will come through M.O. Road and Viyyur team through North Stand Road.
