2052 While we speak about festivals ,we definitely knew that they all are radiant colours of lights.We can't imagine even a festival, without lights. Thus ,Onam will come to our mind.Onam is our national festival. What is the legend behind Onam in Kerala? Granaries will be stored completely with grains during Onam. Every people will buy Onakkodi (NEW DRESSES BUYING ON THE OCCASION OF ONAM).
The legend story behind Onam is that demon king Mahabali will come to visit his mob( people) of Kerala. Keralites celebrate Onam,in the first month of Chingam every year.
Everywhere and anywhere in Kerala ,will be surrounded by prosperity.
