To our viewers, a very happy and safe Onam. Today's celebrations are marked with the grand feast Onasadhya, a hearty meal eaten on a plantain leaf with family and loved ones together, marking the end of the 10-day long festivities. The Onasadhya ranges from a largely vegetarian fare in the south of Kerala to non-vegetarian dishes being included in many homes in the north of Kerala. According to legend, Onam is celebrated to welcome the annual return of King Mahabali, regarded as a just king.
