If you’re planning to celebrate Onam, a visit to Thripunithura in Ernakulam is a must, especially on Atham day in the Malayalam month of Chingam (August or September). This day marks the start of the Onam festivities, and the Athachamayam procession here offers an unforgettable experience.
Athachamayam was originally celebrated as a national festival in the capital of the erstwhile Princely state of Kochi. Today, it continues as a vibrant tradition in Thripunithura, commemorating its rich history. This procession has become one of the official celebrations of Onam.
Thripunithura, known as the royal city, prepares a spectacular visual feast for Athachamayam. The procession is accompanied by traditional Shingarimelam (percussion) and a variety of traditional art forms that reflect the region’s rich heritage. The event is a colorful display of folk art, tableaus, and other performances.
While in Thripunithura, take time to visit the many beautiful temples in Thripunithura. The Thripunithura temple circuit includes notable places of worship like the Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple, famous for its grand architecture and spiritual significance.
