Onam is a
major annual event for Malayali people in & outside Kerala. Onam is the
official state festival of Kerala with public holidays that start four days
from Onam Eve (Uthradom). It is celebrated by Malayali diaspora around the
world. Though a Hindu festival...non-Hindu communities of Kerala
participate in Onam celebrations considering it as a cultural
festival. However, some non-Hindus in Kerala denounce its celebration as a
cultural event because they consider it as a religious festival.Friday, September 1, 2017
