Moolam
is the seventh day of the festival of Onam which continues for ten days.
With just two days left for the festival now, enthusiasm grips the state of
Kerala. Bright colours of the festivities can be seen in commercial areas of
the state where the shops are loaded with goods and people are jostling for
a space. There is hustle and bustle everywhere as excited people do their
last bit of shipping. What is even more apparent on the faces of millions of
people of Kerala is the spirit of joy and happiness. People get the feel
that the time to meet their Onathappan has just come. A year long wait is
going to be over and there will be celebrations all around. Pookalam is made in a new design with kondattam (gaiety) on this day with the most beautiful flowers. For Maveli is coming and there is mirth all over.
