It's one of the most popular festival in India which carries through in the temple Vadakkunnathan every year. It is a 36 hours continous pooram attracting a huge mass of people from different places including international  tourists.
One of the major event is "Madathil varavu" where there are more than 200 artists playing the different types of instruments (like drums, trumpets, cymbals and so on).

Just two days before the pooram, there is a huge exhibition of elephants decoration. About 50 elephants are decorated with golden headdress, bells, ornaments and umbrellas. 

The pooram finished with a spectacular fireworks which is held in the next day early morning after the pooram.

Writing Unit 6

Dear Helen

My english teacher suggest writing to a student in India with the objetive to improve the language. That's such a good idea, isn't it?.

In the first place, my name is Ana and I'm sixteen years old. I live in Tomelloso which is a small town in Spain. The thing which I like best is reading books. I find it exciting that you can imagine their characters and stories on your head. What about you? Do you like reading books or doing some sports?.

Secondly, I'm a happy and sociable person. I love making friends and talking with them. The only thing I hate is that people don't tell the truth. Are you agree with me?.

I'll hope your letter enthusiastically!

Ana
