Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala, is joyfully celebrated every year at home with our family. My grandmother and my mom start cooking very early in the morning and get atleast 35 dishes ready for lunch. The men wear traditional clothes called the mundu and shirt and the women in kasavu sarees. A beautiful pookalam (floral design) is made at the entrance using fresh flowers by my mom and sister. Onam sadya, a grand vegetarian feast served on banana leaves. . Celebrating Onam every year brings us all us closer together and reminds us of the richness of our culture and traditions.

Living far from our homeland, Kerala, we miss many celebrations. But during Onam, we come together to celebrate with love and laughter in the traditional way. Here's a glimpse of our Onam festivities with family and friends who feel like family.

Hello Friends...I'm a proud GMA Parent of Kyra Pathak (1D). These are few clips of our traditional sweet "Pua" which is made in our family on every birthday and offered to God.

For this we make a smooth batter of wheat flour, fennel seeds, oil and sugary water.

After heating up enough oil in the pan for deep frying, we add small balls of the batter to the oil for frying.

Once brown enough we take out the puas. Then on cooling down we offer this prasad first to the Gods and then to the rest of the family.

Diwali is one of our favorite festivals! Every year, we wear traditional Indian clothes and celebrate with our family and friends. Everything looks so bright and colorful with lights, decorations and happy smiles all around.

On Diwali, we enjoy a yummy festive dinner together. After that, we light diyas and play with sparklers. We love watching the little lights glow and spending time with my family.

For us, Diwali is not just about sweets and fireworks. It’s also about being together, following our traditions and feeling happy. That’s what makes Diwali so special!

Hi! I am Aadhya, a Grade 4H student. Born in Dubai, my roots are from Telangana as my parents are from Hyderabad. This region is rich in cultural heritage and family traditions. We celebrate various festivals like Sankranti, Holi, Ugadi, Bonalu, Bathukamma, Dasara, Deepavali to name a few.

Of all festivals, my most favorite is Bathukamma, where I get to prepare savory dishes and snacks with my mom and do all the colorful flower arrangements.

How we celebrate Bathukamma Festival?

Bathukamma is a vibrant 9-day flower festival in Telangana, celebrated during Navratri. Bathukamma - a form of worshiping Shakti as “Gowri Devi/ Gowramma in the form of flowers for health and prosperity of family by women. Women collect seasonal flowers like gunuka, tangedu, and marigold, arranging them in a conical structure on a brass plate called "taambalam". They dress in traditional attire, adorned with jewels, and gather in the evenings to sing folk songs, dance and offer naivedyam (sesame laddoo, maleeda, pulihora, etc.). The festival ends with the immersion of Bathukamma in a water body, symbolizing life cycles.

It's a celebration of Telangana's rich cultural heritage and identity.

Thank you🙏
