Happy Onam


                               Onam 2014 falls on September 7. On this occasion,  I wish all the readers a very happy and properous onam.Onam is  the only festival in Kerala which is celebrated by all irrespective of  any caste, creed or religion. The key to this ‘harvest festival’ of the state is the preparation of Onam Sadhya (grand vegetarian lunch served on a banana leaf). It also reminds us of the vamana avatar of lord Vishnu and the visit of  king Mahabali from patala (underworld).  Interestingly, the birthday of Sri Padmanaban (the presiding deity of Thiruvananthapuram temple ) also falls on this day -  (TheThiruonam day of Chingam)
