The most auspicious festival in Kerala — Onam — is celebrated by the entire Malayali diaspora around the world without any religious barrier. The 10-day fest begins on Atham and ends on Thiruvonam, which falls on Monday, September 4, this year.
According to the popular myth, Asura king Mahabali (Maveli) was sent to the netherworld (Pathalam) by Lord Vishnu by taking the avatar of Vamana. Then, the benevolent king was granted permission to visit his subjects every year, and Onam marks as his home-coming.
