Onam is a time of great cultural pride, solidarity, and joy in addition to being a harvest celebration. It is a cultural spectacle that unites families, communities, and traditions through rituals, feasts, and festivities that last for days. From the breathtaking pookalams (floral arrangements) that adorn courtyards to the elaborate Onam Sadhya meals enjoyed with loved ones, every element of this festival tells a story of prosperity, joy, and togetherness.
