HAPPY ONAM!!

Yaaaay! It's that time of the year when I get to eat delicious food on a banana leaf! Haha.. that's the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Onam! Yes, I'm a self-confessed foodie..! Every restaurant is going to be jam packed with families and friends dressed in traditional clothes celebrating the festival of harvest!

I'm headed for lunch with my friends to Ente Keralam- my favvvv restaurant for authentic Kerala food!

Onam is celebrated to welcome King Mahabali who was much loved and admired by the people of Kerala. Legend has it, that King Mahabali, who once ruled the state, would visit the people every year on this date =)

Onasadya- A grand feast served during the celebration of Onam

Women don the classic cream and gold saris which look SO elegant paired with a coloured blouse. I was choosing between a red/green/cream blouse, picked the red after actually going "Inky Pinky Ponky!" 
Stick on a round red bindi, apply chandan paste right above it (it cools down your forehead), pin a string of traditional jasmine flowers to your hair, and voilaa! Your a Malayali!! (Native of Kerala :P )

As far as the makeup is concerned, it's natural, fresh, with hint of gold to match the sari border! Malayali's love thick black eye kohl, so I made sure to incorporate that! Product Description given below...

The Stylist- Seetha Aunty =)
