Another Onam marked off in my calendar! This one was special because we had a non traditional "Thums Up" drink with our meal. Kind of like Indian Cocacola - that the kids found in the Indian store in Melbourne.
The day started off with setting up some floral arrangements inside the home - the all important Atha Poovu or flower carpet:
Normally this is actually done on the floor of the home - but I do not find the time to devote for elaborate floral decorations on the floor - not to mention the cleaning up after!
