A Little Taste of Kerala in Plymouth

Two young women brought a touch of Kerala’s colour and tradition to Freedom Fields Park, dressed in elegant cream and gold Kasavu sarees for Onam the harvest festival celebrated by Malayalis across southern India. Legend has it that Onam marks the yearly return of King Mahabali, a beloved former ruler, welcomed home with food, flowers, music and dance.
