Story Behind The Festival Onam

Описание: What Is The Story Behind The Festival Onam?

Onam is an annual Indian festival celebrated predominantly by the Hindus of Kerala. A major annual event for Keralites, it is the official festival of the state and includes a spectrum of cultural events. Onam is also known as a harvest festival. Aesthetically laid out flower designs in front of the house with a variety of colourful flowers (pookalam) evoke a sense of plentitude and prosperity, which Onam represents. Not to speak of women adorned with gold ornaments and new clothes. Every bit of the Onam celebration is a nostalgic reminder of the bygone glory of the past. The sumptuous sadya (an elaborate feast)is followed by kaikottikali ( a graceful dance), Tumbi tullal and other folk performances like kummatikali and Puli Kali.

Onam festival is celebrated to honour and celebrate the homecoming of the kind-hearted and much-beloved demon King Bali or also known as Mahabali, who is believed to return to Kerala from Patala Los during this festival. MahaBali is regarded as one of the seven Chiranjeevis in Hinduism who is blessed to live till the end of time on earth.
