When is Onam (Thiruvonam) 2024 Date? | #shorts #shortsvideo #shortsfeed #ytshorts

Onam is one of the most important festivals in Kerala. It falls in Chingam month (August – September). This 10-day festival commemorates the homecoming of the legendary King Mahabali. Onam is also the harvest festival of Kerala. Cities like Kochi, Thrissur, Trivandrum, and Kottayam are the main venues for the celebrations. The legend behind Onam is linked to the incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Vamana, who banished Mahabali to the netherworld due to his egoism. Mahabali’s reign ushered in a golden era in Kerala. The highlights of Onam include Pookkalams (floral carpets), boat races, cultural programs, Ona Sadya (a grand feast), and spectacular fireworks. The main day of the festival, Thiruvonam, is on September 15, 2024 (Sunday). #whenisonamcelebrated2024 #thiruvonam2024dates #thiruvonam2024date #onam2024dates #happyonam2024 #onam2024date #astroved
