Happy Onam 2009

Wishing you all a very Happy ONAM 2009.

I am back home after a short vacation. Thanks to my maid who stocked up my fridge with the necessary veggies, I could prepare Onam Sadhya. In the morning, I thought rain will play the spoil sport, but it stopped by 9 A.M so that everyone could make pookalm without fearing of it getting washed away. I managed to make a small one with the flowers from my garden. Since we reached only yesterday late evening, could not buy flowers. And I prefer making pookalam with my garden flowers. Just finished our heavy lunch and I thought I will wish you all and say that I am back. For the time being, its just photos and no recipes.

Happy Onam, Jaya. Thanks a ton for writing this post, showing us the awesome looking sadya that you prepared. I am sure it tastes amazing as it looks very delicious.

In particular, I loved the pookalam with Bhagawathy as its main symbol. I could relate to it as I come from an old tharavadu where Bhagawathy in the form of Annapoorneshwari is worshipped for every occasion. Your pic brought back some beautiful, timeless memories.

Your post added beauty to my Onam experience, making it truly magical. Thank you, Jaya.
