Happy Onam

My State festival today. A day meant to commemmorate the visit of the legendary king Mahabali, from the underworld, to his people . A king who was sent off to the underworld by the Gods through a trickery for being godlier than them.
Only when Maveli comes, he will find that his dear old Kerala is too rotten to merit a visit. It will make the poor king go back sadder than when he came.
p.s. We are planning a multi-course meal, in banana leaves, for lunch thanks to the maid.
