Onam 2025 Date: The auspicious festival of joy, Onam, is right around the corner in India. This festival is celebrated to honour King Mahabali or Maveli who was popular and loved for being a generous and virtuous ruler. Onam is widely celebrated with great enthusiasm in cities of southern India, especially in Kerala. However, there is a debate of when Onam is scheduled, on September 5th.
Onam will be celebrated across the country on September 5, 2025, as per the state and central government calendar. The festival began on August 27, 2025, with Pookalam. The first day is called as Atham. However, the most important day of Onam is Thiruvonam which falls on the tenth day of the festival. That being said, the main festival day, Thiruvonam, is scheduled on September 5, 2025.
