An overwhelming amount of culture, festivities, flowers, colours and a lot of food. Onam is when Malayalis living away from Kerala miss their homeland the most. Because no matter how well we\'re doing or what country we\'re settled in, the feeling of missing out on some authentic Onam celebrations always fills us with longing.

Meeting the extended family, cooking together, picking flowers for the pookalam, dressing up in the Onakodi, dancing together, eating together and just being with family - Onam is when all these things happen. But when you're not home or in Kerala for Onam, it does feel like you're missing out on a major event in your life.
