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)
