The Onam 2017 is on 4th September, Monday, the first day of next week.

Significance of Onam Day

The day of Onam is celebrated in accordance with the legend of King Mahabali. People believe that it was a particular day in the month of Chingam when Lord Vishnu took his fifth avatar as Vaamana, appeared in the kingdom of King Mahabali and sent him to nether world.

People believe that it is on that day Tiruonam as the spirit of King Maveli visits Kerala, hence the day is marked by feast and festivities. Devotees of Maveli celebrate the golden era witnessed in Maveli's reign during Onam. To welcome their revered ruler, people lay flower mats (Pookalam) in the front courtyard, very beautiful and nice, and prepare a grand meal (Onasadya), dance, play and make merry etc. All this is done to impress upon King Mahabali that his people are prosperous and happy.

A Brief History of Onam

It is believed that Onam celebrations started during the Sangam Period. Record of celebrations can be found from the time of Kulasekhara Perumals (800 AD), when Onam celebrations continued for a month.
