Onam Festival is celebrated in the beginning of the first
month of Malayalam Calendar (Kolla Varsham) called Chingam. This month
corresponds to August-September in Gregorian Calendar and Bhadrapada or Bhadon
in Indian (Hindu) Calendar.
When is Thiru Onam?
Onam carnival continues for ten days, starting from the day
of Atham and culminating on Thiru Onam. Atham and Thiru Onam are the most
important days for Onam festivities. The day of Atham is decided by the
position of stars. Onam festival commences from lunar asterism (a cluster of stars smaller than a
constellation) Atham (Hastha) that appears ten days before asterism Onam or
Thiru Onam. Atham is regarded as auspicious and holy day by people of Kerala.
Thiru Onam corresponds to the Shravan day in the month of August or September,
hence it is also called Sravanotsavam.
At this time sun is in the Zodiac sign of Leo (Simha rasi),
which happens to be the sun's house as well.
Significance of Onam Day in Mythology
The dayof Onam is decided in accordance with the legend of
King Mahabali in whose honor Onam is celebrated. People believe that it was
this particular day in the month of Chingam when Lord Vishnu took his fifth
avatar as Vaamana, appeared in the kingdom of King Mahabali and sent him to
nether world.Farmers are happy with a bountiful harvest and celebrate the
festival to the hilt.
