The festival of Onam is celebrated with exuberance and zeal in not only Kerala, but by Malayalis everywhere. It usually falls the month of Chingam, which as per Gregorian calendar overlaps with August-September. With its origins in Kerala, the harvest festival is celebrated to welcome demon King Mahabali, who is believed to visit Kerala at this time. Being the official state festival, Onam, is a public holiday in Kerala; it is celebrated over a period of 10 days and each day has its own significance and meaning. The first and the last days are the most auspicious. This year, it ends on September 4, and elaborate feasts and functions have been planned for the occasion.
While such festivals are ideally spent with one’s friends, family and loved ones, that is not always possible. But that doesn’t mean you can’t wish the ones you love, which is where we come to the rescue with this collection of various Whatsapp messages, images and texts that show how much you miss and love them this Onam.
