Hi Supermoms,

According to Wiki, " Onam  is the biggest festival celebrated in Kerala.  It is also the State festival of Kerala with State holidays on 4 days starting from Onam Eve (Uthradom) to the 3rd Onam Day.

The festival falls during the month of Chingam (Aug - Sep) and marks the commemoration of home-coming of the mythical King Mahabali. In Kerala, it is the festival celebrated with most number of cultural elements such as Vallam Kali, Puli Kalli, pookkalam, Onathappan, Tug of War, Thumbi Thullal, Kummati kali, Onathallu, Onavillu, Kazhchakkula, Onapottan, Atthachamayam etc.Onam is reminiscent of Kerala's agrarian past, as it is considered to be a harvest festival".
