Onam (India) begins

Onam, a significant annual harvest festival in the Indian state of Kerala, begins with great enthusiasm and joy. It commemorates the legendary King Mahabali and the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu. Festivities include the raising of the festival flag, vibrant parades featuring colorful floats depicting Kerala’s rich culture and traditions, and communal meals shared among families and communities. One notable aspect of Onam is its inclusivity, as people from different religions come together to celebrate the occasion, fostering harmony and unity.
