Onam Vibes: A Colorful College Celebration of Culture and Fun!
Hey Bells! ๐
Welcome to my little corner of Internet !
Today was nothing short of magical—our college was alive with the vibrant spirit of Onam! For those who might not know, Onam is a traditional festival celebrated mainly in Kerala, marking the homecoming of the mythical King Mahabali. It symbolizes prosperity, harvest, and unity, bringing people together in a grand celebration of culture and tradition. The festival features colorful flowers, delicious feasts, and vibrant dances, making it one of the most awaited events of the year!
So, this morning, I woke up a little earlier than usual—around 7 AM. I know, I know, that might not sound early to you, but for me, it felt like a major accomplishment! (๐๐) The excitement was palpable as I rushed to get ready for the festivities.
As I stepped out, the campus was transformed. Students dressed in traditional attire, vibrant floral decorations everywhere, and the aroma of onam wafting through the air—it was simply enchanting!
The highlight? The thrilling dance performances that showcased Kerala’s rich culture. I couldn’t help but join in the fun, dancing and laughing with friends.
After some classes, the fun really kicked off! I decided to try my hand at a smoky eye makeup look after watching a tutorial, and while it didn’t turn out exactly as I hoped, I was proud ๐of my first attempt! Everyone looked stunning in their white traditional sarees and lehengas, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Then came the games! We participated in Pookalam, which is essentially a floral rangoli. It was such a blessing to see those beautiful flowers arranged in intricate designs.
In the afternoon, we enjoyed flash mobs and a traditional parade, featuring the Hulikkunita, a vibrant tiger dance performed to the lively sounds of various instruments. The energy was infectious!
