Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan also extended greetings to people on the occasion of Onam.
"I convey my heartiest Onam greetings to the people of the state and other Keralites all over the world. Onam, which brightens every home with the joy of festivity, celebrates the cherished legacy of a life of equality, oneness, and prosperity and inspires us to strive to create such a society. Together, let us spread the melody, charm, and sparkle of Onam across the world as Kerala's message of love, equality, and harmony," said the Kerala Governor in a video message on Saturday.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in a statement said, "This time, Onam is coming in the background of landslides in Mundakai and Chooralmala. We are now engaged in a major effort to rebuild homes, reclaim livelihoods, and make the region economically and socially dynamic. Therefore, let us be full of compassion for our brothers and sisters who have survived this calamity during this celebration."
"May the concept of Onam, which teaches that 'all human beings are equal', be an inspiration to uphold the unity of human minds that transcends discrimination! Donate to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund and participate in the reconstruction of disaster-affected areas. So we can make our Onam celebrations meaningful," CM Vijayan said.
