Which state is most closely linked to Thrissur Pooram, a grand temple festival?

Thrissur Pooram, a grand temple celebration observed worldwide, is a symbol of Kerala's diverse and rich culture. With its roots in custom, it brings people from different walks of life together with music, processions, fairs, and fireworks. The sixth day of the Malayalam month of Medam, which falls on the star Pooram, is the highlight of the seven-day event. It was founded by Shakthan Thampuran in 1796 to guarantee the continuation of temple celebrations. Thrissur Pooram, which celebrates Kerala's colorful past on April 20, falls on this year.
