| Onam is
the principal festival of the state of Kerala. It is an unusual
festival, in the sense that it reveres the memory of the demon king
Mahabali. This
festival is very colourful, with boat races and dances and elaborate
kolams made of flowers. |
The lovely pookkalams - women and girl children of the house sit down
