Onam is a 10-day harvest festival celebrated in Kerala, India. It marks the first month of the Malayalam calendar and commemorates the return of the mythical King Mahabali from the underworld to his home in Kerala.Mahabali’s return and the harvest are celebrated with floral artwork, traditional dances, boat races, and a traditional feast known as the Onam sadya.

The feast has 15 to 20 distinct dishes, but in some cases, it can have as many as 40. All of the dishes are served on banana leaves and eaten by hand. Eaters use rice as the vehicle for forming the perfect bite.While the traditions of Onam are rooted in Hinduism, Keralites across the state, regardless of religion and caste, enjoy the festivities and a traditional meal.

We visited Vinayaka Caterers in Kerala, India, to see how it prepares sadyas for 150,000 people.

  1. Onam veg Sadhya is the best meal ever in whole world. Well balanced,nutritious and tasty.

    Ancient glory at its best

  2. y'all really should make an effort on learning the correct names for the ingredients in the avial lol. Show chillies and say long beans, show bhindi and say drumsticks lolll

  3. This is an educational video to show why Kerala is above the national average when it comes to obesity, hyper lipedemia, heart attack and stroke.

  4. I am proud to say 🙈🙈 I can cook every item of Kerala sadya myself; but in a much lesser scale, say for 10 – 15 people maximum and much more hygienically😛😛. Yes recipes look a bit complicated for someone who cooks it for the first time. But immensely delicious and worth every minute spent. ❤❤❤

  5. എല്ലാവർക്കും ഓരോ ഷേർട്ട് വാങ്ങി കൊടുക്ക്‌ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
