The Europe Day- Pooram Festival

Yesterday was the Day of Europe (9th May) and we had to talk about an European festival.
My partner, Lorena, and I searched information about the Pooram Festival and that´s what we found:

Pooram Festival is an annual festival which is celebrated in temples dedicated to goddesses Durga or Kali. It has been celebrated every year in Medam (April).
It was believed that every year the dynastic gods and goddesses of neighbouring temple met together for a day of celebration.
The festival dures about 36 hours. A lot of people go there. And just two days before pooram, there is a huge exhibition.
At the end, groups enter the temple through the western gate and come out through the southern gate and array themselves, face to face in distant places.
The pooram concluded with a spectacular fire works display, which is held in next day early morning after the pooram.
