@Duggukede Onam is a 10 day festival celebrated in Kerala. According to mythology it is believed that Mahabali who once ruled Kerala visits during Onam time.Mahabali the asura king was pushed underground by Vamana the 5th avatar of Vishnu. Since Mahabali was a just and good king Vamana asked what boon he wants. Mahabali said he wants to visit his kingdom once a year. So it is believed he visits during Onam time.
We make big floral carpets, swings are there and ladies participate in a dance called Thiruvathira. All offices have Onam celebrations. We have floral carpet competitions and Thiruvathira and Folk song competition. Currently it is happening in my office and I am actively participating. It will conclude tomorrow as everyone will proceed for vacations by Friday.

Onam is a festival celebrated by the people of Kerala (India).It is also a state holiday in Kerala.Though it is mainly a Hindu Festival,it is celebrated by people from other religions  of Kerala too.The Festival falls during the malayalam month of Chingam (Aug-Sept).People of all religions, castes and communities from Kerala celebrate the festival with equal joy.It is a ten day festival. Of all these days, most important ones are the first day, Atham and the last or tenth day, Thiru Onam. One of the main feature of Onam is the grand feast called Onasadya (a nine course meal consisting of 11-13 or more dishes)..It is served on banana leaves and the meal is had by sitting on a mat laid on the floor.A number of cultural programmes, dances, songs and feasts mark the festival.
