About the event
Onam is primarily a harvest festival celebrated with great fervour in Kerala. The festival marks the return of King Mahabali, and its timing is closely linked to Kerala’s agricultural cycle. It signifies the end of the monsoon and the arrival of the harvest season, making it a time of joy and prosperity.
Although the festival has its roots in Kerala, it has spread far beyond the state’s borders. Malayali communities in different parts of the world, especially in countries like the UAE, UK, and the United States, also celebrate Onam with equal passion. For those living outside of Kerala, Onam is a reminder of their cultural heritage, with celebrations including all the traditional elements such as feasts, Pookalam (floral decorations), and performances.
