Heartiest greetings on the festival. Also thank you for the information. But I don't understand what 'Pooram' means.

Pooram actually is one among those 27 stars.

On the pooram day of Medam month, this festival is celebrated.....but most occassions it comes on Makam star(this year also).
It is the most celebrated festival of Kerala....grand of all the temples here.

Just go through wikipedia link to know about Pooram in a brief
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrissur_Pooram

I am posting some of the pictures taken by me.....

At first let me say a few words....
Vadakkumnathan is the most famous Shiva temple of Kerala, no doubt. Thrissur pooram is known as the festival of festivals...greatest of all festivals in Kerala ( celebrations in a temple) and its highlights is of course, elephants.

It's a combination of 3 temples....Vadakkumnathan......Paaramekkaavu(Devi temple) and Thiruvambady Krishna temple....so union of 3 powerful deities of hindu mythology

This photo (also following) are taken day before yesterday......by me
Vadakkumnathan temple has 4 doors.....through which we can enter. This is one of them
