    Onam 2024 Date Malayalam Calendar

    In 2024, Onam begins on Chingam 18 and ends on Chingam 28. This marks the festive period from September 5 to September 15 in the Gregorian calendar. Onam is celebrated with great enthusiasm and includes a series of traditional events, culminating in the grand feast and vibrant festivities of Thiruvonam, which falls on Chingam 28.

    Historical Significance of Onam – September 05 to September 15

    The origins of Onam can be traced back to ancient times, with references found in early texts and inscriptions. The festival’s early documentation appears in the Tamil work Maturaikkanci, which mentions Onam being celebrated at the Madurai Temple. By the 19th century, Onam had gained prominence through the works of Periyazharwar, who celebrated it in hymns dedicated to Vishnu and the broader community.

    Inscriptions from the 11th century at the Thrikkakara Temple, dedicated to Vamana, an avatar of Vishnu, reveal that the festival was observed with rituals on Thiru Onam and other significant days. Similarly, a 12th-century inscription from the Thiruvalla Temple, one of the largest Vishnu temples, details contributions made to the temple as part of Onam festival alms.

    The festival’s cultural significance is further highlighted by the Sanskrit poet Uddanda Sastrikal, who was associated with the court of the Zamorin. He referred to the festival as Sravana, which is derived from the Sanskrit word for the Nakshatra (star) associated with Thiruvonam. European accounts from the 16th century also provide insights into Onam, noting the festival’s celebration and the various customs observed in September.

    Historically, Onam has evolved from a local Hindu community festival into a grand celebration recognized across Kerala and beyond. The festival, as documented by historians like Kurup, reflects the rich cultural tapestry of Kerala, blending ancient traditions with vibrant contemporary practices.

    Celebrating Onam 2024: Mahabali and the Onam Festival

    King Mahabali, also known as Maveli, was a revered ruler of Kerala who won the hearts of his people through his just and equitable rule. He treated everyone with respect, irrespective of caste, wealth, or status, which endeared him to his subjects. However, his popularity and fairness alarmed the gods, who grew concerned about his growing influence.

    To address this, the gods enlisted Lord Vishnu, who took on the guise of a dwarf Brahmin named Vamana. Vamana approached King Mahabali and requested just three paces of land. The generous king agreed, and Vamana’s first step covered the entire earth, his second step spanned the sky, and for his third step, the king bowed and offered his own head. Vamana then placed his third step on Mahabali’s head, sending the king to the netherworld.

    Pleased by Mahabali’s humility and devotion, Vishnu granted him the boon to return to his kingdom once a year. This annual visit is celebrated as the Onam festival, a time when people of Kerala welcome Mahabali with great joy and festivity.
