Onam celebrations are in full swing with people getting out of their homes and into the streets, enjoying the illumination works, several dozens of art performances and enjoying the shopping experiences on offer.
Several dozens of fairs and carnivals add to the festivities. The celebrations are mostly confined to the stretch between Vellayambalam Jn and Palayam. Jawahar Balabhavan, Institute of Engineers' Hall premises, Kanakakkunnu Palace and palace grounds, Nishagandhi festival ground, Suryakanthi festival ground, Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium, etc welcome people to festival fervor.
For this young one, selling a few bubbles to the festival goers is more important than the festival itself.
Clouds gather up in the western sky, even as people enjoy a ride on a giant wheel.
