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.
