Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers for shopping Onam essentials.
Onam is Kerala’s harvest festival celebrating King Mahabali’s annual homecoming, culminating on Thiruvonam with pookalam, Onasadya, and cultural gatherings.
Thiruvonam is the main day of Onam—when the Moon is in Thiruvonam (Shravana) nakshatra—and the heart of the feast and family celebration.
Traditionally ten days from Atham to Thiruvonam, with floral carpets growing each day and festivities continuing shortly after Thiruvonam in many places.
Onasadya is the grand vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf, featuring many dishes shared as an expression of abundance and hospitality.
Make a simple pookalam, cook a scaled sadya, wear festive clothes, and keep a short prayer of gratitude for home and harvest—invite neighbours if you can.
The festival story includes Vishnu’s Vamana avatar and King Mahabali. Many households honour Vishnu while celebrating Mahabali’s visit with joy rather than fear.
