Para ezhunnallippu of Poonithura Kottaram temple on Ashtamirohini. Caparisoned elephants accompanied by panchavadyam. Poonithura temple has strong relation with poornathrayeesha temple. According to legends, it is the place where Arjuna and the brahmin descended in santhana gopala story. Here Arjuna took the idol from 'pooni' , brought from vaikunda. Thus the name poonithura came. Muthukulangara temple at Eroor also has connections with the Poornathrayeesha temple.

hello i'm from dubai...i like to know abt the 2008 utsavam fixture .can any one help...
Whoever has posted this picture has definitely brought some nastalgic memories in me as I was borne in Punithura (my mother's birth place)and spent my childhood and education in Thottuva-Koovappady and now living in Mumbai. I closely knew MS Thripunithura since I used to watch him play cricket when I was small and when I used to visit my grandmother in Punithura.
