Pooram lovers are keeping their fingers crossed with rain clouds hovering over the district.
Thrissur has witnessed rain for the past three days and the organisers are concerned as there is prediction of rain for the coming days too.
The sample fireworks, the first round of fireworks at Thrissur Pooram, is on May 8. Thiruvambadi and Paramekkavu temples, the main organisers of the Pooram, have already started digging holes for placing mortars at Thekkinkadu Maidan, the venue of the Pooram.
