Onam is a magnificent and cherished concept that embodies the spirit of Kerala. Transcending the boundaries of caste and religion, it is a celebration that fills every Malayali with pride. Every Onam celebration inspires us to overcome challenges, instils confidence, and reminds us that we are not alone in times of adversity. May everyone be able to set aside their sorrows and difficulties and celebrate Onam with their family members and friends.

The hardships caused by natural disasters have not yet completely passed. Yet, through every celebration, we gain the strength and confidence to overcome adversity. The Government has put in place all necessary arrangements to enable everyone to celebrate Onam without the burden of rising prices. May this Thiruvonam bring happiness and give us renewed strength for the journey ahead.

At a time when those who seek to sow hatred and division in society and profit from it are waiting for opportunities, we must stand united, transcending differences of caste and religion. That, too, is the message of the Onam celebration.

Onam is being celebrated not only in Kerala but by Malayalis across the world. I extend my warmest wishes to all of them on this joyous occasion.
