“Onam” is the festival of keralites all over the world (especially in
Kerala State of India). Onam celebration is happening in the malayalam
month of Chingam (August-September) every year. On this moment Kerala
government has been arranging a week long festival (for 2014, 5-11
September) in Thiruvananthapuram (Capital city of Kerala State). Here
the buildings are decorated with light arrangements. Various traditional
and cultural programs are taking place. So here the people never like
loose these days in their life. At the conclusion (for 2014, 11th
September) of the festival there will be a procession. On this
procession various departments and organizations present their floats.
The Government also will award the best of the floats. I would like to
thank my colleague Mr. Anulal who accompanied me to take the snaps.

You got some wonderful photos of the procession. It was very colorful, and your pictures are beautiful.
Wonderful series of images.
Interesting procession! Seems like a wonderful entertainment and learning process on our culture and tradition. In Chennai the car procession usually takes place on republic day.
