Kanjiramattom Mosque Event Date : 13 Jan, 2005
This mosque, 25 km from Kochi, is believed to have been built as a memorial
to Sheikh Fariduddin. The festival of ' Kodikuthu' commences on January 2 this
year. During the ' Chandanakkudam' ritual held at night, pilgrims carrying pots
covered with sandalwood paste proceed in a procession to the mosque.
Six caparisoned elephants and folk performances accompany the procession. Traditional
Muslim art forms like Oppana and Mappilappattu are also staged during the festival.
Kochi is well connected by rail and road to different other tourist places in
India and also has an airport.
Athachamayam Thrippunithara Ernakulam
Event Date : 20 Aug, 2004
An occasion to witness almost all the folk art forms of Kerala, Athachamayam
marks the beginning of the ten-day Onam festival in Kerala. Conducted on the
Atham asterism of the Malayalam month Chingam (Leo), the event today commemorates
a royal custom of the Maharajas of Kochi State.
In olden days it was customary for the king to travel with his entire entourage
to the Thripunithura fort. This was also the occasion for his subjects to greet
the king and see him at close quarters. The procession, now without the king,
still retains its majestic charm, and is conducted in a spectacular manner.
