Today is Kerala's state festival "Thiruvonam". Onam is also the season of goodness, harmony and unity. This agriculture-harvest festival is celebrated by all irrespective of caste and religion. I know those good childhood days will never come back.

However, with the hope that there will not be a flowering season of goodness that will not end, Maveli Mannan who comes to meet the subjects can be accepted with full heart.

"Daily Malayaly News" wishes everyone a good time without lies and fraud.

as Kerala State celebrate Onam in many ways and in many ways, big and small, invoking their uniqueness and pride. Along with Onam, there will be a very rich Onam Sadya with dishes prepared.

That means no Onam celebration is complete without lavish feasts, and a variety of culinary rituals surround the ten-day festivities, which may vary from household to household. Malayalees also celebrate Thiruvonam with flowers and flowers. Most of them were in the patch to buy local vegetables, flowers and Onakodi. 

Seeing the desire of the expatriates, the markets were also prepared. Onam is also a gathering full of flowers, colors and cloths for the expatriates this time. A beautiful flower garden with native flowers can be seen in most of the expats' houses in the rows of flats and villas. There are those who do flower arrangements from Atham to Thiruvonam without stopping and there are those who do flower arrangements only for Thiruvonam. As from today to end of this month the association's Onam programs will wrap up once the onam day ends.

Traditional Onam Sadya – This vegetarian feast consists of 20 to 30 dishes served on banana leaves and is one of the most central parts of Onam. A main dish with rice, this feast includes a variety of lentils and vegetables with lots of coconut.

Legend is it that the Keralites celebrated Onam, but Sangha works reveal that Onam celebrations were held much earlier in Kerala itself and in Tamil Nadu including Madurai.

The first reference to Onam is found in the Sangha period work 'Madhuraikanchi'. Maduraikanchi inscriptions from 590 AD say that Onam is celebrated as the birthday of Thirumal (Mahavishnu). Later it became agricultural and commercial. It was during this period, after Karkatakamasa, that foreign ships used to approach Kerala for the spice trade. Thus this month which brings gold is the reason why it is called Ponnin Chingamasa and Onam as Ponnon. In Kerala, its trade was more important than harvesting.
