Thiruonam is the most important day of the Onam celebrations starting from 6th Sept this year. It is believed that during the four days of Onam festival, the legendary King Mahabali visits his subjects. Malayalis prepare floral carpets called 'Ona-Pookkalam' and lay out a sumptuous meal called the 'Onam sadya' to welcome Mahabali. Among the 20-plus lip-smacking vegetarian dishes traditionally served on a plantian leaf, the 'Ada payasam or Ada pradhamam' occupies a premium position.
