Happy Onam everyone …
Onam, celebrated mostly by the people of Kerala, is an harvest and cultural festival of Kerala, which is celebrated all across India as well. This year this festival is being celebrated from 6th of September until 15th of September totally for ten days
Ona sadya or Onam sadya is also as popular as Onam festival. They make 26 various types of dishes and serve on a banana leaf, which is a regular ritual followed on festival days all across south India. Be it any function or festival, we like to eat our meals on a banana leaf !
