Onam sadya, a traditional feast celebrating the bounty of the harvest festival from India’s southern state of Kerala, will be served to thousands of people at the Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam (BKS) this weekend.
Onam is a festival which celebrates the homecoming of the legendary and generous demon-king Mahabali and the feast serves as the headline event of the two-month-long celebration at the club.
The sadya prepared by celebrity chef from Kerala, Pazhayidom Namboothiri, will be served to attendees starting at 11am.
The mega feast will feature more than 30 traditional vegetarian dishes served on a banana leaf.
The main dish features rice, various curries, pickles, dessert and buttermilk.
For the first time, a special recreational street folk art (leopard dance) featuring about 150 performers will be held on September 29 at 7pm and the festival titled ‘Sraavanam 2023’ ends with a grand finale on September 29.
All events are open to the public and will be held at the BKS premises in Manama.
Registration is required for the Onam feast and individuals can contact 32258697.
