About Onam

Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala, celebrated by Malayalis of every faith. It welcomes back King Mahabali, the legendary king said to visit his people once a year. The date on this page is Thiruvonam, the main day, when the Thiruvonam star falls in the Malayalam month of Chingam.

Celebrations start ten days earlier on Atham. Families lay a pookalam, a flower carpet in front of the house, and make it bigger each day. On Thiruvonam they eat the Onam sadya, a vegetarian feast of more than 20 dishes served on a banana leaf. Snake boat races, Pulikali tiger dancers and swings are part of the season. Kerala closes schools, banks and government offices for several days around Thiruvonam.
