DESCRIPTION:Uthralikkavu Pooram is the annual festival of the Sree Ruthira 
 Mahakalikavu Temple at Engakkad in Wadakkanchery\, Thrissur district\, ded
 icated to Goddess Rudhiramahakali\, and is one of the prominent Pooram cel
 ebrations of central Kerala. The eight-day festival is held in the Malayal
 am month of Kumbham\, usually in February or March\, with the principal Po
 oram taking place on the second Tuesday of Kumbham. The festival begins wi
 th the ceremonial flag hoisting and builds towards the main celebration\,
