About Onam
Onam is Kerala's grandest harvest festival, celebrated through the solar month of Chingam to mark the mythical King Mahabali's annual return to earth. It runs from the Atham Nakshatra to the Chathayam Nakshatra — each day is named for whichever Nakshatra prevails at that day's sunrise, so the total day count (usually 12-13) can shift slightly from year to year.
