The most important things about Onam are the onakkodi, the new clothes worn on this day and onam sadya, a feast which is quite elaborate.

Like Ganesh Chaturthi, Onam is a 10 day festival, the first and the last being the most important ones.

As part of Maveli Puja performed during Onam three small sized figurines, made of red sand are erected, at the verandah of households.

A palmyra tree is erected in front of temples and surrounded with a wooden balustrade and covered with dry palmyra leaves. It is lit with a torch and burned to ashes to signify that Mahabali went to hell as a sacrifice.
