Temples to visit in Kerala during Onam
Kochi, Sep 01: Onam is an annual harvest festival in Kerala which is a major event for Malayalis. It is also the official festival of the state.
The festival fosters a spirit of oneness and narrows the communal chasm. More than offering prayers to a particular deity, a common feature of most Indian festivals, Onam is about celebrating the Malayali culture. Despite being a Hindu festival, people from all the communities of Kerala celebrate Onam with enthusiasm.
People celebrate the occasion by decorating their houses with pookalams - a decoration of flowers; wear new clothes, organise cultural programmes, take part in get-togethers.
During the 10-day festival, temples will have special pujas and cultural activities which is one of the major attractions in the state.
