Onam Sadhya is the elaborate vegetarian feast at the heart of Onam, traditionally served on a banana leaf. It features rice with an array of curries, side dishes, pickles, papadum and the payasam dessert, all eaten by hand. At Onam events across Germany, cultural associations and restaurants in cities like Frankfurt, Munich and Düsseldorf serve authentic Sadhya so Malayali families can enjoy the festival taste of Kerala.

Pookalam is the intricate flower carpet, or floral rangoli, laid out on the floor during Onam to welcome King Mahabali. Families and communities create circular patterns from fresh petals, adding a new ring each day of the festival. At Onam celebrations in Germany, Pookalam-making is a popular group activity alongside Onam Sadhya, Thiruvathira dance and cultural programmes. Browse Onam events on Brizz.me to join one near you.
