Onam Celebrations


Onam is the festival of Kerala. Celebrated in remeberance of the great ruler King Mahabali, shortened as "Maveli". People put flower arrangements known as "Atha poo" for the 10 days of celebration. Vallam Kali or boat race is very famous during this season. And ofcourse the Onasadya!

When non-keralites also joined for the "atha poo" arrangements in our apartments, it became a featival of national integration. Celebrating many festivals in the aprtment complexes bring people together.

Maveli nadu vanidum kalam, manusharellarum onnupole.....
