Onam and its perks!

   Sarees, munds, food served on banana leaves, colorful installations and happy, happy people. Onam is here.

The colourful festival that  marks the homecoming of the mythical King mahabali who is considered as the King, Onam is also associated with crops, hence marking itself as the harvest festival. As a friend once told me,'it rains inconsistently during the days surrounding Onam. Drizzles, as well as heavy downpour.'

Besides traditional elements such as sadya, pookalam and music and dances, there is another perk that Onam brings with itself- dressing up.Needless to say ,we indulged in it!

There were sarees- the traditional kasavu ones, known rather so famously, as well as some unconventional ones, all blending in together in the festivities.

  

The guys could not be far behind. Denims and casuals gave way to Munds and kurtas, and the result is what you see.

                               

Getting ready for that perfect frame was,needless to say, necessary. And we loved every bit of  it!

                               

There was beauty, fun, laughter and enjoyment. What else could we have asked for!
