Kollam Pooram (Malayalam: കൊല്ലം പൂരം) is a ten-day festival held every year in April in Kollam City in the Indian state of Kerala. The festival attracts a large number of people from all parts of the state and is organised in connection with the annual festival of the Asramam Sree Krishna Swamy Temple at Kollam's Asramam Maidan.[1] The festival has now assumed the status of a national festival attracting tourists in large numbers.

For the kudamattom, thirty elephants are split into two groups of fifteen representing the Thamarakulam Sri Mahaganapathy Temple and the Puthiyakavu Bhagawathy Temple. The kudamattom is held to the beats of a traditional melam leaded by Sri. Kadavoor Akhil. The pooram is followed by a firework display.[2]
