'''Kollam Pooram''' ([[Malayalam]] : കൊല്ലം പൂരം) is a festival held each April in [[Kollam|Kollam City]] in the Indian state of [[Kerala]]. The festival attracts large number of people from all parts of the state and is organised in connection with the annual festival of the Asramam Sri Krishnaswamy Temple at Kollam's [[Asramam Maidan]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Kollam Pooram today|url=http://www.thehindu.com/2005/04/15/stories/2005041511910300.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20160728063941/http://www.thehindu.com/2005/04/15/stories/2005041511910300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 July 2016|access-date=6 August 2015|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=15 April 2005}}</ref> 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''. The ''pooram'' is followed by a firework display.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kollam Pooram draws huge crowds|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/kollam-pooram-draws-huge-crowds/article7111750.ece|access-date=6 August 2015|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=17 April 2015}}</ref>
This year Pooram falls on Tuesday 16 April 2019.
