“I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to the people of our country on the auspicious occasion of Onam. Celebrated to honour the memory of King Mahabali, Onam symbolises the high values of honesty, compassion and sacrifice. It is also an occasion to celebrate mother nature’s bounty in the form of new crops in the fields,” his message read.
“May the spirit of Onam bring peace, prosperity and happiness in everyone’s lives,” he added.
