The Onam festival is celebrated in the state of Kerala to honour the kind-hearted and much-beloved demon King Mahabali, who is believed to return to Kerala during this festival. Resplendent with snake boat races, flower rangolis called pookkalam, and traditional feasts called sadya served on banana leaves, Onam is indeed a valuable lesson in celebrating life in a vibrant way through community celebrations. The festivities are a worldwide attraction and tourists flock to the state to witness the magnificence of Kerala’s culture. Here’s wishing you a spectacular #onam!
