Explanation:
Onam, a harvest festival that falls in the months of August/September annually, is celebrated across India and the world, and is main festival among Keralites. According to the Malayali calendar month of Chingam, the festival falls on the 22nd Nakshatra Thiruvonam, and marks the beginning of the Malayalam year, called Kolla Varsham.
The festival begins on the day known as Atham, and ends on the tenth day, known as Thiru Onam or Thiruvonam, also the most auspicious day during the festival of Onam. This year, the celebrations leading up to Onam will begin Saturday, August 22 onwards and Thiruvonam will be celebrated on August 31.
Onam festival is celebrated to honour the kind-hearted and much-beloved demon King Mahabali, who is believed to return to Kerala during this festival.
Significance of Onam celebrations
According to Vaishnava mythology, King Mahabali defeated the Gods and began ruling over all three worlds. King Mahabali was a demon king who belonged to the Asura tribe. The kind-hearted king was much-loved by the people. The Gods got insecure of King Mahabali’s popularity and Lord Vishnu to step in and help contain Mahabali.

Lord Vishnu took on his fifth avatar, in the form of the Brahmin dwarf Vamana, and paid a visit to King Mahabali. King Mahabali asked Vamana what he wished for, to which Vamana responded, “three pieces of land”. When Vamana was granted his wish, he grew in size and in his first and second pace respectively, he covered the sky, and then the netherworld.
When Lord Vishnu was about to take his third pace, King Mahabali offered his own head to the God. This act impressed Lord Vishnu so much that he granted Mahabali the right to visit his kingdom and people every year during Onam festivities.

കേരളമൊന്നാകെ ആഘോഷിക്കുന്ന ഉത്സവമാണ് ഓണം. കേരളത്തിന്റെ ദേശീയോത്സവം. ഐതിഹ്യമനുസരിച്ച്, കേരളനാട്ടിൽ ശാന്തിയും സമാധാനവും കളിയാടിയിരുന്ന കാലമായിരുന്നു അസുര രാജാവായ മഹാബലി വാണ കാലം. പ്രജാക്ഷേമതൽപരനായിരുന്ന മഹാബലി കൊല്ലം തോറും തന്റെ നാട്ടുകാരെ കാണാനെത്തുന്ന ദിനമാണ് മലയാളമാസമായ ചിങ്ങത്തിലെ തിരുവോണം. മഹാബലിയെ സ്വീകരിക്കാനുളള ഒരുക്കങ്ങളാണ് തിരുവോണദിനത്തോടനുബന്ധിച്ചുളള ആഘോഷങ്ങൾ. അറുപതു വിഭവങ്ങൾ വരെ നിറയുന്ന തിരുവോണസദ്യ ആഘോഷത്തിന്റെ പ്രധാനഘടകമാണ്.
