Thiruvathira Kali (traditional onam dance of Kerala)
|
What is Onam? Well, basically:
"Onam is the State festival of Kerala. It is celebrated in honour of Mahabali, the mythical Asura king of ancient Kerala. Malayalees believe that on Onam day Bali visits his subjects. This harvest festival falls in August / September."
And to us, the young 'uns:
Fun! Food! Pookalam (flower decoration)! Festivity! Family! New Sarees! Dance! Thiruvathira!
and so on.
" When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the people had equality.
And people were joyful and merry;
They were all free from harm.
There was neither anxiety nor sickness,
Death of the children was never even heard of,
There were no lies,
There was neither theft nor deceit,
And no one was false in speech either.
Measures and weights were right;
No one cheated or wronged his neighbor.
When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the people formed one casteless race. "
Happy Onam!!!

Wonderful set..really..I learnt a new thing today about Onam. It was always Pongal for me. Always in Mumbai, so never got a chance to visit my native to learn the tradition. This set is really good. Also the story about King Maveli. Thanx
