Onam 2025: Each year, as the monsoon winds blow away and the green fields of Kerala look forward to harvest time, a colourful celebration washes over houses, temples, and streets — Onam, the great festival that rises above religion and caste to unite all hearts in gratitude, unity, and happiness.
Onam 2025 is not a festival; it’s a spiritual journey back to our roots, a move towards an equitable and just king, and a heavenly union of good luck and renewal. This year, as AstroEshop brings you back to India’s spiritual past, let us explore Onam from its mythological origins to astrological interpretations — and how you can unlock the blessings of this holy period.

The Spiritual Essence of Onam – King Mahabali Returns
The core of Onam lies in the fond mythos of King Mahabali, a just Asura ruler who ruled Kerala in a golden age of equality, harmony, and prosperity. Dethroned as he was by Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar, Mahabali was, however, awarded the godly boon of visiting his people once a year, during Onam.
A Festival Based on Dharma and Bhakti
While most festivals celebrate deities, Onam celebrates a mortal king, highlighting the fact that righteousness (Dharma) is the sole means to immortality. The humility of Mahabali before Vishnu establishes the principle that even Asuras can receive blessings by performing good deeds.
This is the philosophical foundation that makes Onam not only a cultural celebration but also one of karmic harmony, a reminder of the fact that we reap what we sow — just as the fields of Kerala reap during this season.
Onam 2025 Celebrations: When?
In 2025, Onam will start on Tuesday, 2nd September, and will end on Thursday, 11th September, with the best day, Thiruvonam, falling on Wednesday, 10th September. Onam is celebrated as a 10-day event corresponding to the Chingam month of the Malayalam calendar, which also happens to be the first month of the year and a blessed period for starting anew.
Dates of Onam 2025:
- Atham – 2nd Sep 2025
- Chithira to Pooradam – 3rd Sep – 8th Sep. 2025
- Uthradam – 09th Sep 2025
- Thiruvonam (Main Day) – 10th Sep 2025
- Avittam & Chathayam – 11th Sep 2025
Astrological Significance of Onam 2025 – A Time of Abundance
You may be thinking — why is a harvest festival astrologically significant? Onam, in Vedic astrology, is a strong Sun transit into Leo (Simha Rashi) and corresponds with the lunar star Thiruvonam (Shravana Nakshatra) — a period best suited for Lakshmi puja, forefather blessings, and prosperity rituals.
Shravana Nakshatra Influence
Shravana is governed by Lord Vishnu, so Thiruvonam is the ideal day for Vaishnava devotees. It energises the forces of:
- Spiritual listening and education
- Family harmony and worship
- Restoration of lost prosperity
Onam 2025 comes under auspicious yogas for initiating new projects, home blessings, wealth generation, and spiritual purification.

Rituals & Customs – How Onam 2025 is Celebrated
From elaborate flower decorations to vibrant boat races, every ritual of Onam is symbolic and deeply rooted in cosmic gratitude. Here’s how people across Kerala and beyond honour King Mahabali’s return:
1. Pookkalam – Welcoming Mahabali with Flowers
Floral carpets are carefully laid out at the entrance of houses for 10 days, getting more complicated each day. These circles of love and beauty are presented to the King.
2. Onasadya – The Grand Feast of 26 Dishes
Prepared and served on banana leaves, Onam Sadya is a vegetarian feast symbolising prosperity. Each dish plays a role — from salty pickles to sweet payasam, the meal symbolises completeness in life.
3. Vallamkali – The Snake Boat Race
This high-octane sport, a symbol of unity and divine concentration, is organised in Kerala’s backwaters. Thousands gather to watch ornately decorated boats slither through water like serpents.
4. Thumbi Thullal & Kathakali – Celebrating Divine Art
Women dance in elegant group numbers while Kathakali performers act out mythological narratives, exemplifying the artistic power that Onam unleashes.
