Onam is Kerala’s harvest festival, which has gained recognition all over India. It also marks the homecoming of king Mahabali. Wherever they are in the world, Malayalee people celebrate Onam with Onasadya (traditional festive meal) and decorate their houses with Pookalam. This is also one of the most colourful festivals of India. In Kerala, the highlights of this festival are Vallamkali (snake boat races), Kaikottikali, Kathakali performances and Pulikali processions.
