Keralites around the world are celebrating "Thiruonam", the 10th and most important day of the grand Onam cultural festival.
Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala, symbolizing themes of prosperity, inclusiveness, and unity.
Regardless of religious affiliation, people in Kerala come together to honor the memory of Mahabali, the godly and mythical king, marking Onam as a time of unity.
The festival is marked by various rituals, which include a grand Onasadya feast, vibrant Pookkalam flower decorations, wearing a new dress called Onakodi, and engaging in cultural activities such as the Ujayalattam dance and Pulikalli procession.
Additionally, the vibrant Vallamkalli boat race and the heartwarming tradition of reuniting families contribute to the charm of the festival.
