Onam Ponnonam

Ellavarkum enthe sneham niranja Onashamsakal!!!
May this Onam bring peace, prosperity, health and happiness to everybody.

"Maveli Nadu Vaneedum Kalam
Manusharellarum onnu pole…"


My favourite part of Onam is not the onakodi (new clothes) that we get or the onasadya (feast) but the athapoo or pookalam that I make every year on Thiruonam day. Even though the athapoo is supposed to be put for ten days ,with the city life and our busy schedules it can be managed on only one day.

My dad gets up early and goes and gets the flowers for me. He is such a sweetheart. He buys most of the flowers but if he can manage to get some more variety from the nearby parks he gets them too.

My one fervent and ardent wish is to celebrate Onam in Kerala atleast once in my lifetime. Have never had a chance to do that till now. Hopefully, sometime in the future.

How colorful. Must have taken a lot of effort and required tremendous concentration. I learnt making something called "Saathiya" among jains which was peanuts in comparison but recquired focussed effort. Good photos.

Visiting your blog for the first time...Loved the pics of the pookolam. Strangely I did not know people did this on Onam - I have a very close mallu friend but somehow I have never seen this at their place - may be I did not go there on Onam - but only today another friend posted pictures of pookolam during her travel to Cochin on onam day. It looks so lovely! Hope you had a nice time on Onam day!

Cool collection, id say, but its the days of online pookkalams (yes, believe it!! theres a site that does an ONLINE version of the pookkalam contest now. check out www.gamezindia.com/contest/competitions.php)

makes one wonder where the worlds going. its kinda easy to put on designs, though. and behold, it still even makes u COLLECT flowers before u put on :p

makes one wonder.. whether this time great king maveli would be rather sending emails to his dear old citizens... :p i bet he'll rather one day prefer online pookkalams, online sadya, online blessings, perhaps?

anyways, good effort by the guys, id say, its fun when u can change ur design after the flowers are in :p one thing ud really wish u could do with real flowers.

i was trying out all of your designs. good collection... loved them!

Thanx St.Habib. This seems to be really interesting. These days everyting is virtual, so why not pookalams. Even though it will never have the charm of real pookalams, still it is one way for those in big cities and abroad to keep in touch with their traditions. Something is better than nothing. Happy Onam. :)

Wonderful design! I like it. I never knew about "Onam Ponnonam" before, thanks for sharing this post. I've got an idea. I will try to make something like that. Keep posting.
