Here comes Onam, with lots of colors and flavors. Onam is a
major annual event for Malayalis in and outside Kerala. It is the biggest
and the most important festival of the state of Kerala (India). It is a harvest
festival. People of all communities celebrate Onam with joy and enthusiasm. It
is celebrated for 10 days. Onam is celebrated mainly to welcome King Mahabali
during his annual visit. Mahabali was a good ruler who loved his people. He was
very generous at the same time egoistic. The gods envied him because of his growing
popularity and tried to pull down his regime. The gods were successful to do so
as lord Vishu helped them. Due to the good deeds done by king Mahabali the god
granted him with a boon that he could visit his people as they loved him. This annual
visit is celebrated as Onam. People try to impress their king in all possible
ways. Celebrations are elaborated over 10 days, the 10 days sequentially known
as Atham, Chithira, Chothi, Vishakam,Anizham, Thriketa, Moolam,Pooradam,Uthradom
and Thiruvonam, Thiruvonam being the main attraction. The celebrations are
indeed a treat to our eyes. It is celebrated with major festivities like floral
arrangement (pookalam), boat race (Vallam kali), tiger dance (puli kali), tug
of war, kaikotti kali (dance). Apart from these attractions, you get to wear
new cloths (ona koodi) and sadya (a nine course vegetarian meal served on
banana leaf). The onam sadya is indispensable part of Thiruvonam. The young and
