Onam Radiates Unity and Joy as Malayalees Reunite Without Masks after Three Years

Thiruvonam Marks a Mask-Free Onam: Embracing Unity and Celebration Amid Clear Skies and Reunions. After three years of mask-wearing, Malayalees usher in this Onam with heartfelt smiles. Despite shifting methods, the vibrant essence of Onam remains unchanged. The streets bustle with activity despite the sweltering heat, replacing last year’s rainy and cloudy observance. The global Malayali community joins in exuberant shopping, and long-absent expatriates make a joyous return. For farmers, Onam doubles as a harvest festival, symbolizing enduring traditions amidst evolving agricultural realities. From Atham’s inception, the preparations culminate on Thiruvonam, illuminating the festive spirit.
