Onam Festival is a celebration of traditional and cultural beauty of the state of Kerala. It is often celebrated during the months of August -September as per the Chingham calendar of Malayalis. Before we look into the stunning Onam traditional dress Ideas, let us take a quick look at what Onam festival is all about and the mythological history of the rituals and beliefs.

Onam, A Grand Welcome for King Mahabali

The legend states the story of the benevolent demon King Mahabali who was a ruler of Kerala. He was very popular during his reign, as people still speak of his generosity and kindness towards his kingdom. It was said that during his reign, there was discrimination, people were honest, healthy and happy. However, on seeing the praises of King Mahabali, the (Lords) were threatened of losing their power and the natural balance of the universe. In order to restore both, they approached Lord Vishnu seeking his help to bring down King Mahabali

Lord Vishnu agreed to help the Devas. He disguised as a Brahmin Dwarf and visited King Mahabali on Earth. He then requested King Mahabali to provide him with the land that he walked in three steps, which was agreed to. Then, Lord Vishnu grew in size until his first two steps covered the entire world and if he took the third step, it would destroy everything. To stop him from taking the third step, King Mahabali offered his head to be the next. On seeing how humble and generous Mahabali was, Lord Vishnu granted him permission to return to his kingdom and visit his people from the one world, once a year. This day is now celebrated as the Onam Festival. 

Onam Festival is a 10 day celebration of various rituals from the beauty of Pookkalam to the exhilarating Aranmula Boat Racing. Each day is dedicated to one preparation towards the welcome of King Mahabali. No matter what the ritual may be, decking up in stunning clothing and charming jewellery was the most exciting part of the celebration.
