The thramvilakku has its origin in thrampattu, a form of ritual singing (Brahmani pattu) that was later converted into thramvilakku in its present form about 150 years ago.
This is celebrated on the thram day of the Meenam month of the Malayalam Calendar. Uthramvilakku is a temple festival celebrated at Edakkunni in Ollur. The highlight of the event is an over four-hour Panchari Melamin the temple compound past midnight on the thram day, with each of the five caparisoned elephants on the occasion carrying a deity each from as many temples.

The Bhagavathy returns from the town of Arattupuzha. Then
Ceremonial reception of the deity will be conducted. After
the kodiyettam (flag-hoisting) a small pooram ceremony is
performed on three elephants. Over the succeeding six days
the deity of Lord Bhagavathi is taken around the historic
Perumanam village astride an elephant, receiving the
obeisances of devotees and taking part in pooram
ceremonies in different temples along the route.
The ceremonial elephant also participates in the traditional
Anayottam (elephant race) at Piddikaparambu; which is
near Cherpu about 14 km south-west of the town
of Thrissur. Lamp-lighting ceremony and nadaswara recitals
will be followed along with panchavadyam with five
elephants.
Bhagavathy deity is led in procession outside the
sanctum sanctorum with the accompaniment of valia pani
orchestra. The Bhagavathy idol is then hoisted atop a huge
tusker which is joined by four others. This is followed by
elaborate recitations, on various instruments including Kell,
kombu pattu and Kuzhal Pattu. The illustrious Panchari
melam is performed by Kerala's most renowned percussion
experts. They are joined in this effort by as many as 100
artistes on the chenda ilathalam kombu and kuzhal.
Besides the presiding deity of Edakkunni temple, four deities
from nearby temples join the Bhagavathy. They
are Thaikatusserry, Chakkamkulangara, Namkulam, and Chittachatakudam. The melam lasting nearly five hours
culminates with a brief but vibrant display of fireworks.
Closing ceremony is followed by an /dakka pradakshinam, a
ritualistic circumambulation which sees participation of
people in the belief that the run would help them get rid of
ailments. By sunrise, the Bhagavathy sets for the padikkal
pooram. This is the only time in a year that deity goes out
through the western door. After the Padikkal pooram, the
ceremonial send off of the neighbouring deities
(Upacharam) takes place. The festivities come to an end
with the kodikutthu (uprooting of the festival mascot).
