Onam is the only festival for which I wait year love. I just love everything about Onam. The Onam food is epic and I just love it. My grandmother used to make Olan for Onam all the time.

I LIKE ONAM FESTIVAL bcos of Onasadya that is prepared on Thiruonam which is the important day of celebrations. The feast is essentially a nine course meal featuring 11 to 13 dishes and is traditionally served on a banana leaf.
