Thali Kettu
Thali Kettu is a traditional ritual celebrated in parts of Kerala, India, primarily among the Hindu community. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and is often associated with the worship of Bhagavathy, a goddess representing fertility and abundance. During this festival, families prepare special offerings and decorate their homes with colorful flowers and lights.
The ceremony typically involves a procession where participants carry a decorated thali (plate) filled with offerings. Devotees sing and dance, creating a festive atmosphere. The event fosters community spirit and strengthens social bonds, as families and neighbors come together to celebrate the blessings of the harvest.
