Onam is the biggest festival in the Indian state of Kerala. Onam Festival falls during the Malayali month of Chingam (Aug - Sep) and marks the homecoming of legendary King Mahabali. Carnival of Onam lasts for ten days and brings out the best of Kerala culture and tradition. Intricately decorated Pookalam, ambrosial Onasadya, breathtaking Snake Boat Race and exotic Kaikottikali dance are some of the most remarkable features of Onam - the harvest festival in Kerala. Carnival of Onam lasts from four to ten days. First day, atham and tenth day, Thiruonam are most important of all. Popularity and presentation of rich culture of the state during the carnival made Onam the National Festival of Kerala in 1961. Elaborate feasts, folk songs, elegant dances, energetic games, elephants, boats and flowers all are a part of the dynamic festival called Onam. <i style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-style: normal; line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: #260a00; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/tottakomnair/a-crying-boy-1955-photo" style="color: #0033cc;" target="_blank">A Crying Boy. 1955 Photo</a>. <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/jciattingal/home/n-g-nair-kerala-travel-thiruvananthapuram/n-g-nair-india" style="color: #0033cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">N G Nair Kerala travel 2010</span></a></span>. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Ever since my early <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/tottakomnair/a-crying-boy-1955-photo" style="color: #551a8b;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">childhood</span></a> days in Vaikom <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/coppermining/Home/about-n-g-nair-from-thottakom-vaikom-kottayam/kottayam-is-the-land-of-letters-latex-and-lakes" style="color: #551a8b;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Kottayam</span></a> Dist.
