The Athachamayam in Thrippunithura is considered as the start of the Onam festival. Infact, there isn’t a more colourful start to the festival than this. It features a street procession featuring decorated elephants, floats, various traditional art forms etc. The beginning of this culture can be traced back to the age of Maharaja of Kochi. He used to march from Tripunithura to the Vamanamoorthy Temple in Thrikkakara (also known as Thrikkakara Temple). This modern day festival follows in his footsteps.
