President greets citizens on the eve of Onam
“On the occasion of Onam, I offer my greetings and good wishes to the people of the country, particularly to our brothers and sisters from Kerala," Kovind said in his message.
"Coinciding with the beginning of the harvest season, Onam celebrates the hard work and toil of our farmers. May this festival be an occasion for celebration and sharing joy with our families, while not forgetting to reach out to those in need. Let us work unitedly to promote harmony and fraternity in our society,” the president said.
Onam is an annual Hindu festival with origins in the state of Kerala.
It falls in the Malayalam calendar month of Chingam, which in Gregorian calendar overlaps with August–September.
The festival commemorates the Mahabali, Vamana (Vishnu avatar), Kashyapa and Parashurama-related mythologies of Hinduism.
