Onam 2026 is being celebrated with joy and enthusiasm as Malayalis across Kerala and around the world mark Thiruvonam on August 26. The festival celebrates prosperity, togetherness and the legendary homecoming of King Mahabali, with families observing traditions, preparing elaborate sadya and decorating homes with pookalams.

Several popular South Indian celebrities have extended warm festive wishes on the occasion. Allu Arjun, Mohanlal, Karthi, Prabhu Deva, Aju Varghese, Vimala Raman and Anirudh Ravichander have marked Thiruvonam with greetings and festive posts shared with their fans on social media.
Onam is the state festival of Kerala, celebrated by Malayalis worldwide regardless of religion. The ten-day harvest festival culminates on Thiruvonam, the most important day. While the greetings from stars across Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema reflect the festival's cross-industry appeal, the core of Onam remains in the thousands of family homes where the traditional sadya feast is prepared and served on banana leaves.
