In this video I have showed how did we celebrate Onam festival in London with many events and a delicious banana leaf virunthu.
About onam:
Onam (Malayalam: ഓണം)is an annual Malayaliharvest festival, in the Indian state of Kerala.A major annual event for Keralites, it is the official festival of the state and includes a spectrum of cultural events.Drawing from Hindu tradition, Onam commemorates King Mahabali and Vamana.
Onam is celebrated in remembrance of the good governance under the rule of Mahabali, a mythical king who ruled Kerala. The legend holds that jealous of Mahabali's popularity and his power, the devas and gods conspired to end his reign. They sent Vamana to earth in the form of a dwarf Brahmin who trampled Mahabali to patala (underworld). Vamanan asked Mahabali for three feet of land as his wish from the generous Mahabali. Since denying gifts to Brahmin is considered a sacrilege, Mahabali agreed to fulfill Vamana’s wish. In the first two feet Vamana measured the entire universe, leaving nowhere to place his third foot. Mahabali offered his own head to place his third feet making the wish complete. However, witnessing Mahabali’s generosity, Vishnu granted the king's sole wish to visit his land and people once every year. This homecoming of Mahabali is celebrated as Onam in Kerala every year
The date of Onam celebration is based on the Panchangam, and falls on the 22nd nakshatra Thiruvonam in the month Chingam of Malayalam calendar, which in Gregorian calendar falls between August-September. Thanks Wikipedia
