Onam Sadhya 2024 Olympics. The 10 days of onam festivities each hold unique significance, but the festival is truly incomplete without the iconic 'onam. Cook the side dishes once the curries are done, move on to preparing kaalan, avial, thoran, kichadi, pachadi, and other dishes that don’t take as much time.

Central to this festival is the grand onam sadhya thali, an elaborate meal served on a banana leaf. Onam falls in the month of chingam on the malayalam.
