Good to know

• ⛪ The convention: Held every February since 1895 by the Mar Thoma Evangelistic Association, the mission arm of the Mar Thoma Syrian Church. The pandal on the Pampa's dry riverbed holds well over a lakh; people of every church come.
• 🪑 On the sand: Most people sit on the sand — carry a mat or towel. Chairs are kept for the elderly and frail. A smaller pandal is set aside for families with children under five.
• 📅 Dates: Eight days, Sunday to Sunday, from the second Sunday of February — about 14 to 21 February 2027. We confirm the dates and the day's programme before your trip.
• 🚧 Roads & crowds: Police close roads around the venue on the main days. Your driver drops you at the nearest open point and you walk the last stretch. Agree a meeting point and time with the driver before you get out — phone networks jam in big crowds.
