Onam
Onam (Malayalam: ഓണം) is the biggest festival in the Indian state of Kerala. It falls during the first month of the Malayalam calendar which is Chingam (August–September) and marks the homecoming of the legendary King Mahabali.
The festival lasts for ten days and is linked to many elements of Kerala's culture and tradition. Intricate flower carpets, elaborate banquet lunch, snake boat races and the kaikottikkali dance all play a part in the festival. Onam is a Hindu festival that has assumed a secular character as it is celebrated by people of different faiths and it is close to heart of all Malayalees and is celebrated with equal fervor in all parts of Kerala. For this festival, people wear new clothes: men wear a shirt and mundu, and women wear mundu and a golden bordered shoulder drape called Neriyathu (നേരിയത്). Learn More
