The Harvest Festival - Onam
Onam, the harvest festival is the most popular festival of Kerala. A festival
that celebrates a happy blend of myth and reality, Onam is part of the cultural
repertoire of every Malayalee.
It brings back nostalgic memories, carried on the wings of folklore,
of a bygone Utopian era of prosperity, equality and righteousness, under
the golden reign of Mahabali.
Year after year, for centuries, the people of Kerala, irrespective of
caste, creed or colour, join together to welcome back their vanquished
king. The ten-day Onam festival falls in August-September, coinciding
with the beginning of the harvest season.
