About this tool
Write Malayalam Onam greetings for family, friends, colleagues and clients, with transliteration and the ten-day Onam schedule.
This generator writes Malayalam Onam greetings tuned to the person receiving them — family, friends, colleagues, clients, teachers or neighbours — in a warm, respectful or short form, with a Roman transliteration and an optional English line. It also lays out the ten days of Onam from Atham to Thiruvonam, dating each one for you once you enter the Thiruvonam date from a panchangam. Useful for anyone who wants to send a greeting in Malayalam without machine-translating it into something no one would say aloud.

Ten days, each named after the nakshatra of the day: Atham, Chithira, Chodhi, Vishakam, Anizham, Thriketa, Moolam, Pooradam, Uthradam and Thiruvonam. The pookkalam is laid from Atham onwards, Uthradam is the big preparation day, and Thiruvonam is the main day with the sadya.
In the Malayalam month of Chingam, which falls across August and September. Thiruvonam is set by the Thiruvonam nakshatra rather than a fixed Gregorian date, so it moves each year — take it from a Malayalam calendar and the other nine days follow from it.
It is a harvest festival that marks the annual homecoming of King Mahabali, whose reign is remembered as a time when everyone was equal and no one went without. That is why the sadya is shared, the pookkalam is laid at the doorstep and the greeting is about plenty rather than religion.
