Kerala’s greatest harvest festival — floral carpets, snake boat races, the Onam Sadya feast and the mythical return of King Mahabali.
Onam is Kerala’s greatest harvest festival — a 10-day celebration that brings all Keralites home. Homes are decorated with intricate pookalam (floral carpets) that grow in complexity over 10 days. The 26-dish Onam Sadya banana-leaf feast is the culinary centrepiece. Snake boat races at Aranmula and Champakulam are the sporting climax.
