Onam (Malayalam: ഓണം)
is the largest festival in the Indian state of Kerala. It falls during
the first month of the Malayalam calendar which is Chingam
(August–September) and marks the homecoming of the legendary King
Maveli. The festival lasts for ten days and is linked to many elements
of Kerala's culture and tradition. Intricate flower carpets, elaborate
banquet lunch, snake boat races, Puli Kali, and the Kaikottikkali dance
all play a part in the festival. And it can be undoubtedly said that
these elements constitute the diversity, colorfulness and richness that
no other festival can claim in this world.
