The Legacy of Thrissur Pooram
Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance, Thrissur Pooram represents Kerala’s spiritual and artistic excellence. The festival is famed for its majestic elephant processions, traditional percussion performances like Melam and Panchavadyam, and its vibrant fusion of art, culture, and devotion.
To bring this glory to a global audience, MMDE Thrissur was established in 2018 by a group of passionate Malayalees in the UAE. Since then, it has grown into one of the most anticipated cultural events in the Middle East.
