Happy Onam  

People wear traditional attire and offer prayers at temples, while the day is marked with feast and festivities, including cultural programmes. Heavy rush is witnessed at temples, including the famous hill shrine of Lord Ayappa at Sabarimala and Sree Krishna Temple at Guruvayur

Though primarily a Hindu festival, most non-Hindu communities participate in Onam celebrations as it is considered a cultural festival. To mark the auspicious day, people offer special prayers and draw flower rangolis called Pookkalam near their doors to welcome king Mahabali
 

Onam is the biggest festival for people living in Kerala. Celebs are nowhere behind to celebrate and shower wishes to fans on social media. 

Onam also marks the summer harvest. Though it is a Hindu festival, most non-Hindu communities in Kerala too participate in the celebrations as it is considered a cultural feast, than a religious one.

The festival is mainly celebrated by Malayalees around the world with traditional folk dances, artworks, etc.
