About this

Onam centers on the harvest and a legendary king’s annual return. In Kerala’s villages and neighborhoods, people lay out intricate rice-flour and flower patterns that stretch across doorsteps and courtyards. Long snake-boat races draw crews of over a hundred paddlers who synchronize strokes to drum rhythms on rivers turned race courses. Families gather around the onam sadya, a single-course vegetarian meal served on banana leaves whose twenty-plus dishes reflect local produce and Ayurvedic balance.
