Onam

Kerala's harvest festival, when many women wear the cream-and-gold kasavu sari with jasmine strung through a plait or bun.

Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala, held in the Malayalam month of Chingam, and its main day, Thiruvonam, falls on 12 September in 2027. Homes lay flower carpets, families share the sadya feast, and many women dress in the kasavu sari, white or cream with a gold border. The usual hairstyle is long hair oiled and combed back into a plait or a low bun, wound with strings of fresh jasmine, the mulla poo. The same jasmine strings are the Kerala form of the gajra worn across India. Girls dancing the thiruvathira often wear their hair the same way.
