They celebrate the festival by deep cleaning their homes, taking early morning baths, decorating their homes with flowers, creating Pookalam (colourful patterns) outside their homes, and eating Onam Sandhya, a feast prepared with the help of all family members and traditionally eaten with hands. Households in the southern state make a variety of banana chips, a popular Kerala dish, to serve during the feast. Family members exchange gifts of 'onakkodi' (new clothes), and in their home's courtyards, a swing is hung from a high limb of a tree and decked with 'oonjal' flowers.
