Onam is celebrated in remembrance of the good governance under the rule of Mahabali, a mythical king who ruled Kerala. They sent Vamana to earth in the form of a dwarf Brahmin who trampled Mahabali to patala (netherworld). Vamanan asked Mahabali for three feet of land as his wish from the generous Mahabali. Since denying gifts to Brahmin is considered a sacrilege, Mahabali agreed to fulfill Vamana's wish. In the first two feet Vamana measured the entire universe, leaving nowhere to place his third foot. Mahabali offered his own head to place his third feet making the wish complete. However, witnessing Mahabali's generosity, Vishnu granted the king's sole wish to visit his land and people once every year. This homecoming of Mahabali is celebrated as Onam in Kerala every year.

As a part of Onam Celebrations, an inter-house Floral Carpet was held today morning at 5:30am and given two hours of time to Shiva, Shakti and Sarvaa house. Students have given their best efforts and completed with the given time. The judges have declared the Shiva house as the first best, followed by Shakti and Sarvaa house. Keep the spirit of Onam in your hearts. May your home be filled with joy, love and peace. Happy Onam!
