The best way to know a place and its people is by participating in their festivals. By studying the motivations behind what people choose to celebrate and how they celebrate is a great insight into their life. It is no different in Munnar.
Tea plantations being the primary occupation in Munnar, the two biggest festivals celebrated here are the harvest festivals of Onam and Pongal. Onam is celebrated in the second half of the year whereas Pongal is an official thanksgiving festival for the harvest, celebrated in January. A visit during one of these festivals is a must do thing in Munnar.
