Athachamayam
A grand procession called Athachamayam is also
carried on the day of Atham to mark the beginning of the grand carnival of
Onam. The procession is carried out to commemorate the royal custom of the
erstwhile state of Kochi when it was customary for the King to travel with his entire
entourage to the Thripunithura Fort. Even in the absence of King today, the
custom still retains its majestic charm. Elephant processions, folk art
presentations, music and dancing make Athachamyam a spectacular event. The
procession of Athachamyam is of marked importance at Thripunithura, Kochi.
From the day of Atham an atmosphere of joy and jubilations envelops the very air of Kerala as people get engaged in one activity or the other. Everybody wishes to celebrate Onam in best possible manner.
