Onam at Maroli
Maroli showcases the traditional OnaSadhya, the kerala vegetarian meal on 3rd september,saturday. between 12:00PM to 4:00 PM.
Onam is traditionally a harvest festival and earlier the people of Kerala used to entirely depend on agriculture. Onam, which breaks all barriers of caste, creed and religion, is the most anticipated festival in Kerala and by Malayalis around the world. Thiruonam is the day when the Asura King Mahabali .(Maveli) comes to visit his subjects. Each house in Kerala decks up to welcome King Maveli, who during his reign made the ideas of a utopian rule a reality. Onam is celebrated over four days – first Onam ,Second Onam or the most important day of Onam is Thiruonam and 4th day the Naalam Onam.The preparation for Onam begins on the Atham nakshatram day in the Malayalam Chingam month (August – September).
Atham falls around 10 days before Thiruonam. Onam festival begins on Atham day, around 10 days before Thiruonam.
People begin purchases for the onam which include new dresses for all the people in the family. During these ten days children and women prepare the floral design called Pookkalam in front of their houses to welcome King Maveli.
