Popular Kerala Holidays:

Here are 5 popular Kerala holidays that might be among the best, depending on what you’re looking for:

Onam:

Onam is the most famous festival in Kerala, celebrated with great fervor across the state. It marks the homecoming of the mythical King Mahabali, whose reign was considered the golden age of Kerala. The festival spans ten days, with the most important day being Thiruvonam. During Onam, people create flower carpets called ‘Pookalam’ in front of their homes, indulge in a grand feast known as ‘Onasadya’, and engage in traditional activities like boat races (Vallamkali), tiger dances (Pulikali), and folk performances.

Thrissur Pooram:

Held in the town of Thrissur, this is one of the most spectacular temple festivals in Kerala. The festival is famous for its large procession of caparisoned elephants, the mesmerizing Kudamattom (exchange of parasols), and an incredible display of fireworks. The elephants are adorned with ornate headdresses, bells, and necklaces, and the rhythmic changing of brightly coloured parasols is a sight to behold.

Vishu:

Celebrated as the Malayalam New Year, Vishu signifies the astronomical new year day. The most important event of Vishu is the ‘Vishukkani’, where a ceremonial arrangement of seasonal fruits, vegetables, flowers, rice, gold, and new clothes is prepared to view early in the morning. It is believed that seeing a prosperous Vishukkani first thing in the morning brings good fortune for the year ahead.

Theyyam:

Although not a festival in the traditional sense, Theyyam is a unique ritualistic performance that is an integral part of Kerala’s culture. It’s celebrated in the northern parts of Kerala. Theyyam involves dance, mime, and music, and is performed to honor the deities. Performers don elaborate costumes and makeup, transforming themselves into the gods and goddesses they are portraying.

Attukal Pongala:

This festival is celebrated at the Attukal Bhagavathy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, where millions of women gather to offer Pongala (a sweet dish made of rice) to the deity of the temple. It holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest gathering of women for a religious activity. The entire city turns into a cooking spot as women prepare the Pongala on the streets using wood and bricks.

Conclusion

Planning a trip to Kerala during these festive times can be a magical experience. However, it’s important to consider the financial aspect of such a holiday. A travel loan can be a practical solution to ensure you can fully enjoy the festivities without financial strain. Travel loan can cover various expenses like travel, accommodation, and other expenditures, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty and cultural richness of Kerala’s holidays.
