Pooram in a nutshell is the paying obeisance of the deities of Thiruvambady and Paramelkavu along with deities of suburban temples to Lord Vadakkunnathan. The whole exercise is done with the accompaniment of various types of temple orchestra.

At 11.30 a.m. Thiruvambadi starts Madathil Varavu, glorified by bands in immortal verse. The town is slowly turning into an ocean of humanity. The sweltering heat of the torrid sun makes the weather a meteorological purgatory. But the surging crowd, moves about in a jubilant mood, as a celestial scintillating show of percussion orchestra is in the offing. Madathil Varavu is glorified by Panchavadyam.

When the procession reaches Naikanal, it moves southward to Sree mulasthanam at 3 pm. accompanied by Pandimelom, the artists sweating for a couple of hours to produce divine symphony.

Meanwhile at 1 pm. Paramelkavu Devi had started her glinting and glorious procession from her abode, with an unrivalled group of drum orchestra.

The whole event of Kudamattom is played in the rhythm to the traditional orchestra Pandimelom.
