What is MMDE Thrissur Pooram?
Thrissur Pooram, known as the Mother of All Poorams, is a world-famous festival from Kerala, India. It’s recognized by UNESCO for its grandeur and cultural depth. The event features majestic elephants, colorful parasols, rhythmic melam music, and traditional art forms that reflect the soul of Kerala.
To share this cultural pride with the world, a passionate UAE-based group founded MMDE Thrissur in 2018. The first edition in 2019 at Bollywood Parks Dubai was a massive success, and since then, it has grown into a top-ranking Indian festival event in Dubai every year.
