Onam, Kerala's biggest festival, is here, bringing with it the story of King Mahabali's annual return to his people. The 10-day celebration is marked by colourful pookalams, elaborate Onasadya feasts, family gatherings and cultural festivities.
From colourful pookalams (flower rangoli) and a traditional Onasadya (a grand festive meal served on a banana leaf) to family gatherings and cultural celebrations; the festival is all about togetherness.
The 10-day festivities begin with Atham and culminate in Thiruvonam, the most important day of Onam. The festival falls during Chingam, the first month of the Malayalam calendar, which generally coincides with August and September. This year, Thiruvonam falls on August 26.
