Here are some key aspects of Onam celebration:
Floral Rangoli (Pookalam): People create intricate and colorful flower rangolis called "Pookalam" to welcome the mythical King Mahabali, whose return to Kerala is believed to be the reason for celebrating Onam.
Traditional Attire: People wear traditional Kerala attire, including the white saree with gold borders for women (Kasavu saree) and a white dhoti and shirt for men. Women also adorn themselves with traditional jewelry.
Feasting: Onam is known for its elaborate feasts called "Onasadya." It is a vegetarian meal served on banana leaves and typically includes various dishes like sambar, avial, thoran, rasam, payasam, and more. Onasadya is a symbol of the unity and harmony of the people of Kerala.
Cultural Performances: Various cultural activities and performances are organized during Onam. These include traditional dances like Kathakali and Mohiniyattam, as well as music, drama, and other forms of entertainment.
Boat Races: One of the highlights of Onam celebrations is the thrilling boat races known as "Vallamkali." The most famous of these races is the Nehru Trophy Boat Race held in Punnamada Lake in Alappuzha.
Games and Sports: Onam also includes traditional games and sports competitions like tug-of-war, thrikkakara appan, and various races. These activities are enjoyed by people of all ages.
Worship and Prayers: People also visit temples and make offerings to seek blessings during Onam. The most significant temples visited during Onam include the Thrikkakara Temple and the Guruvayur Temple.
Onam Legends: The festival of Onam is associated with the mythological story of King Mahabali, who was a beloved and generous king. It is believed that he returns to Kerala during Onam to visit his people, and Onam celebrations are a way of welcoming him.
