The Kerala High Court has granted permission to the Vadakkumnathan Temple advisory committee to install advertisement boards for the upcoming Thrissur Pooram festival. This ruling came after the committee contested the Cochin Devaswom Board's refusal, arguing that it was inconsistent with permissions granted for other festivals. The court noted the committee's claims of arbitrariness in the Board's decision. The Thrissur Pooram festivities commenced on April 20, 2023, with traditional flag hoisting rituals across participating temples. However, this year's celebrations will be more subdued due to a tragic incident involving a fireworks unit explosion in Thrissur, resulting in loss of lives.
