About Onam

Onam is a major cultural harvest festival celebrated primarily by the people of Kerala, India. The festival commemorates the homecoming of the mythical King Mahabali and is observed with traditional rituals, boat races, and the creation of intricate floral carpets known as Pookalam. It is a time of communal harmony and joyous celebration.
