Скачать или смотреть Pookalam the floral Mandala of Kerala's Onam.

Pookalam, is also called Athapookalam, is the floral design made during Onam to welcome King Mahabali on his yearly visit. The word comes from ‘Poo’ meaning flower and ‘Kolam’ meaning design. Families and communities come together to collect fresh flowers and arrange them in circular patterns, starting small on the first day of Onam and expanding with each passing day until Thiruvonam.

Traditionally, ten sacred flowers known as Dashapushpam are used, and each layer of the design is offered to deities like Mahadev, Maa Parvati, Ganesh Ji , Karthikeya, Brahma, Vamana, and Mahabali. Creating a Pookalam is more is a collective act of devotion, joy, and celebration that fills homes with color and marks the spirit of Onam!
