Onam 2025: Spreading the Colors of Kerala in Bahrain and Across the GCC
As the scent of athapookkalam fills the air and the memories of Mahabali’s golden rule are celebrated, Malayalis in Bahrain and across the GCC come together once again to honor the vibrant festival of Onam.
Even thousands of kilometers away from the lush greenery of Kerala, the spirit of Onam remains strong. From grand Onasadya feasts in community halls to traditional games, dances, and boat race reenactments, the Malayali diaspora ensures that culture travels with them.
n Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait, Onam is not just a cultural festival it is a celebration of unity, nostalgia, and resilience. It reminds every expatriate of the values of togetherness, humility, and joy that define Kerala.
This Onam, let’s light the lamps of love and gratitude, share meals with those around us, and keep the spirit of Kerala alive wherever we are.
Wishing all Malayalis in Bahrain and the GCC a prosperous, colorful, and heartfelt Onam 2025!
ഓണാശംസകൾ!
