The Adoor Gajamela is a spectacular fair and part of a ten-day annual celebration held at the Parthasarathy Temple in Adoor. The highlight of the festival is the elephant pageantry. The Elephant is the most loved and the revered animal in South India and more so in Kerala.
Elephants are perceived to lend grandeur to any festivity. Gaja is Sanskrit means elephant and mela means fair. The Adoor Gajamela is therefore a fair of elephants. Hundreds of people throng the temple premises to witness this spectacle where around nine bedecked tuskers are paraded. The Gajamela takes place at the Parthasarathy temple premises. The shrine is dedicated to Lord Parthasarathy, an incarnation of Lord Krishna and is one of the oldest Krishna temples in Kerala.
