Onam 2023 celebrations

Onam is an annual harvest festival that is predominantly celebrated by Malayalees across the world. On this day, Keralites draw a flower rangoli (pookalam) and have a heart sadya (traditional Kerala meal) with their families. On this occasion, several celebrities took to social media to wish their fans and some also shared glimpses from their Onam celebration. Onam is celebrated in Chingam month, which marks the beginning of the Malayalam calendar, and is a harvest celebration. During the Onam festival, people usually wear kasavu saris and mundu (dhoti). It is a time when family members and friends come together and exchange gifts. The celebrations span over ten days, and there are processions, rituals and performances held across Kerala
