Happy Onam to people of Kerala

                                                 Onam

The harvest festival Onam (Malayalam: ഓണം) is the

 biggest festival celebrated in Kerala,India.

 It is also the State festival of Kerala with State holidays on 4

 days starting from Onam Eve (Uthradom) to the 3rd Onam 

Day.

Onam is an ancient festival which still survives in modern 

times. It's one of the rarest festival which is celebrated by a 

complete state, irrespective of religion,

celebrates the Asura King Mahabali's annual visit 

from Patala (the underworld). Onam is unique since 

Mahabali (locally known as Maveli) has been revered

 by the people of Kerala. 

 The King is so much attached to his kingdom that it 

is believed that he comes annually from the nether world to

 see his people living happily.

                   Happy Onam
