Me had a grandiose celebration here in the IT city of Bangalore. This was the first Onam since moving in to my new home. That added the zest to the celebration.
We made the much famed pookalam and had the grand Onam sadhya (lunch). The lunch was a vegetarian affair with about 8 different veg accompaniments (curries), sambar, rasam, and the yummy payasam.
What I like about Onam is, it is not tied to any particular religion, but rather a multi cultural, multi religious affair. Irrespective of the religious leanings, every malayalee celebrates Onam wherever S/he is. And this festival doesn’t have any political undertones too.
Heres wishing all a Happy and prosperous Onam. Lets pray we have a good harvest and offset the drought like conditions our country is facing.
