Celebrated during a time of abundant harvest, Onam symbolizes prosperity and happiness, making it a truly auspicious occasion for all.

How Families Celebrate Onam

During Onam, Malayalees immerse themselves in a vibrant array of activities and celebrations. Highlights include the thrilling Aranmula Snake Boat Race, the colorful Pulikali (tiger dance), and the graceful Kaikottikali dance. Traditional games like Onathappan, featuring tug-of-war and other lively contests, add to the festival's excitement.

At home, Onam celebrations are equally spirited. Houses are adorned with stunning Pookalam (flower rangoli), creating beautiful displays of vibrant blooms. Families gather in traditional attire, visit temples for special poojas, and host elaborate feasts. The highlight of the Onam feast is the Onam Sadhya, a grand nine-course meal served on banana leaves, featuring 11-13 traditional dishes. This festive season is a time for joyful reunions, cultural traditions, and the celebration of Kerala’s rich heritage.
