The annual Onam Festival transforms Kerala with colorful processions, feasting, boat races, singing and dancing. The state takes a holiday surrounding the event so, wherever you are, there is sure to be noise and color.
Onam celebrates the golden age of King Mahabali, a mythical ruler of Kerala. Children create huge floral decorations inside and outside their homes. Every village and town celebrates in its own colorful way. In Trichur, the local elephants are elaborately decorated before parading through the streets and in Cheruthuruthy, traditional Kathakali dancers show off their brilliant costumes in evening shows.
