Thiru Onam 24 PhotoStory - Pookkalam & Ona Sadhya - how we celebrated our Onam Festival - TravellerG

Let me start with, “Happy & Prosperous Onam Greetings to all at home”, my dear friend @PattyBlack ,

Thank you so much for showering compliments on my daughter, wife and me - you are so kind… appreciate it with thanks once again.

I understand that the photo #2 is most loved shot of the post and of course, you guessed it rightly… from 9 am to 2 pm, my daughter had only brief breaks - 5 hours of non-stop dedication, at least by 2 family members = net 10 hours of total action.

Once again thank you very much for your valuable companionship and support…

Most sincerely,

:handshake: :gift_heart: :pray:

Thank you so much dear @Chackochhan , you might have felt more Onam, since you are in Kerala… Right?

Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Most sincerely yours…

“…Belated Onam wishes…”

Firstly let me accept and thank you for your great wishes… We reciprocate the same with gratitude. However, we keep exchanging Onam greetings at least for a week after Thiruvonam… It’s not belated

Happy that you like the floral display… Of course the major credit goes to my daughter…

Regarding Pulisseri, I take this opportunity to invite you for our Onam next year, tho we can prepare the same if you visit before Onam. In look and feel, Pulisseri resembles very much with Kadhi…but tast wise, it differs a lot… Do come and enjoy it… At our home, Pulisseri is a 365 days item and is appreciated by most of all the guests who visit us - waiting for you… :blush: .

Thanks for all your feedback and compliments.

Best wishes with sincere regards

:pray: :gift_heart: :handshake: :heart: :+1:

Regards with Onam greetings.

:handshake: :gift_heart:

Even if you visit during non Onam days, we shall arrange Onam sadhya for you, dear… What else?

Regards

Super , amazing , eye catching thank you @TravellerG sir for releasing this post very good photo with details explanation , I heard about this festival but never celebrated , flowers decoration is amazing :star_struck: , sofas are looking very good with flower it is like celebrated festivals with nature , I noticed that many things used in this festival celebration are taken from nature and not harm to nature easily disposable , specially i like banana leaf and Red chatni I don’t know what to call it but red or pink dish attract more vibes in photo .

Thanks for your post Hope one day we celebrate this festival together in south part of iindia.

Happy to see your post :pray:
