Onam 2019: Warm Messages You Can Share On Kerala's Harvest Festival

Onam wishes: Kerala harvest festival falls in September this year.

New Delhi:

Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala. It's a 10-day festival that began on September 1, and will continue till September 10 and festivities will prolong till September 13. Onam is celebrated in the month of Chingam, which, per the Gregorian calendar, overlaps with the months of August-September. Onam is observed by Malayalis all over the world as a religious and cultural festival. Onam commemorates the annual homecoming of the legendary King Mahabali - the grandson of Prahlada. There are four main days of Onam. The first Onam or Uthraadam is believed to be the return of King Mahabali to Kerala, will be celebrated on September 10. The most important day of Onam (known as Thiru Onam or Thiruvonam, meaning 'Sacred Onam Day') is the second day which will be celebrated on September 11. It is believed that King Mahabali pays a visit to people's homes on Thiruvonam. On the Third Onam or Avittam, preparations are undertaken for King Mahabali's departure. This year, it will be observed on September 12. The last day, Chathayam on September 13, would be observed as Sri Narayana Guru Jayanthi and post-Onam celebrations continue for the next couple of days with snake boat races, Pulikkali tiger play, and Kerala Tourism's Onam Week program. Here we have compiled some Onam messages that you can send to your friends and families. The story of Onam originates from the tale of King Mahabali - known to be one of Kerala's greatest rulers because of his generosity and kindness. Along with decorated houses and elaborate meals, Athachamayam - a traditional folk dance and temple festivities are highlight of Onam celebrations in Kerala.
