**************************************************
Onam is the only peculiar festival celebrated with great pomp and show wherein boat races are organised in the state of Kerala. It is the national as well as harvest festival since 1961.
If legends and folklores are to be believed then with the onset of this festival, the spirit of King Mahabali arrives too. It is celebrated when the Chingam month starts which is the first month of the Malayalam Calendar (Kollavarsham) i.e. August-September.
