Kerala

Fairs & Festivals

Onam is a time for sports and festivities and in Kerala - where one third of the area is low lying, covered with canals, lakes, and backwaters - the people take to their boats and country crafts to celebrate.

Colourful aquatic festivals are organized along the sacred river Pampa. Depending on the positioning of the stars and the moon, the festival is held at the end of August or beginning of September.

Christmas is another festival that is celebrated with much vigour and enthusiasm in the state. Other important festivals of the state are Id, Muharram, and other festivals that are traditionally celebrated all over the country.
