Thrissur: Villagers clashed during the festival at Kunnamkulam Kavilakkad temple. The dispute over the elephants’ heads resulted in a fight.
A dispute related to keeping the elephant in a line according to the talapokkam resulted in Tammiladi. The festival clashed between the Chitannoor land of the south and the Chitannoor land of the confederation.
There was a conflict over stopping Thrikadavur Sivaraju and Chirakal Kalidasan for the festival. The conflict happened around 7:30 last night
Yesterday was the festival of Thrissur Chitannoor Kavilakkad temple. Elephants from different parts of Kerala participated in the Pooram.
Thechikotukavu had brought Ramachandran to the Pooram. Attempts to place Thechikotukav Ramachandran in the middle and keep Thrikadavur Sivaraju and Chirakkal Kalidas close together led to the conflict.
The festival committee argued that Chirakal, the elephant with the second head, was Kalidasa. But another group argued that Thrikadavur was Sivaraju.
Later there was a dispute regarding this. It was reaching the middle. As the conflict broke out, the Papans moved back the elephants, including Kav Ramachandran, to Techikot, averting a major accident.
