Onam Festival Celebration in Kerala 2023

So, according to mythology, King Mahabali was the greatest ruler of Kerala. Under his leadership, the locals experienced their greatest period of wealth and prosperity.

Lord Vishnu took the form of a Vaman to mislead the King into giving him whatever territory he possessed to destroy Mahabali’s rule on earth. As a result, King Mahabali was exiled to a lower realm, but Vishnu also gave him the blessing of being able to return to his home country once a year. Onam commemorates the King’s return home.

Fascinating story, right?

Also, Onam, Kerala, celebrates the rice harvest festival.

Why Onam is Celebrated?

To invite King Mahabali to their home, the women draw a flower rangolis and decorate it with lamps in their homes. They also wear new clothes and give gifts. On this occasion, lavish feasts are cooked called “Onam Sadhya.” There are typically 26 dishes made for this. Rice is frequently served with other meals, and pickles and papads are served on banana leaves. During Onam, a special sweet dish called “payasam” is a must-have item. On the Onam festival, the people of Kerala do boat races known as Vallamkali, where numerous large boats in the shape of snakes compete against one another. Also, whoever wins the race is offered a huge amount of money.
