Stunning fireworks sampling lights up the sky ahead of cultural event in southern India
by ShravyaAhead of the much-anticipated cultural event in southern India’s Kerala, a spectacular display of fireworks sampling illuminated the sky, captivating onlookers and setting the stage for a grand celebration.
The incident took place at Thrissur Pooram in Kerala on April 20.
Visuals showed a large quantity of fireworks was being set off, filling the sky with vibrant colors and thick smoke spreading everywhere.
Fireworks are an inevitable part of the pooram celebrations. Unfurling surprises of light and sound, a mix of sparkles, palm leaf crackers, gundu, and amittu created attractive patterns on the night sky above the Thrissur city.
There are three rounds of fireworks at the Thrissur Pooram – sample fireworks, the main fireworks in the wee hours on Friday, and Pakal Pooram fireworks on Saturday afternoon.
This time, Paramekkavu Devaswom started the fireworks display at 7.45 p.m. It was followed by the Thiruvambadi Devaswom. For the first time in the history of the Thrissur Pooram, the same licensee prepared fireworks for both devaswom. P.M. Satheesh of Mundathikkode is the licensee for both devaswoms. The friendly competition between the devaswom will pep up the spirit of the pooram.
‘Premalu,’ amittu that burst in heart shape in the sky, ‘Guna Cave,’ which descended from the sky, and ‘Gaganyan,’ which reminded of the space mission, were the highlights of this year’s fireworks. Importance was given to colour as there was restriction on high decibel sound.
