Nexus Seawoods Mall Brings ‘Onam Opulence 2025’ With Kerala’s Grandeur To Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai is all set to witness a vibrant burst of colours, culture, and tradition as Nexus Seawoods Mall prepares to host ‘Onam Opulence 2025’ on September 6 and 7. The two-day celebration promises to immerse residents in Kerala’s festive spirit with floral artistry, mesmerizing performances, and a showcase of traditions that symbolize prosperity and unity.

A Floral Marvel: 9-Meter Pookalam

The star attraction of the festival will be a stunning 9-meter-diameter Pookalam, an intricate floral arrangement made from nearly 225–250 kilograms of fresh flowers in seven vibrant shades. The Pookalam is not just a decoration but a cultural symbol of Kerala, representing harmony and togetherness. Visitors can expect it to be a visual highlight of the event, perfect for photographs and a memorable backdrop for family outings.

The floral artwork will be on display throughout the weekend, drawing crowds with its breathtaking scale and craftsmanship. It stands as a reminder of Onam’s spirit—where communities come together to celebrate heritage through art and nature.

A Cultural Extravaganza That Bridges Traditions

Beyond the flowers, the celebrations will immerse audiences in Kerala’s living traditions. The cultural showcase, organized in collaboration with Seawoods Malayali Samajam, will feature an impressive line-up of performances:

• Thiruvathirakali – a graceful group dance performed by women, symbolizing joy and unity.
• Mohiniyattam – the classical dance of Kerala, known for its elegance and storytelling.
• Kathakali – a vibrant dance-drama with elaborate costumes and powerful expressions.
• Poothappattu – a mythological folk performance bringing ancient tales to life.
• Chenda Melam – the thunderous percussion ensemble that sets a festive rhythm.
• Ethnic Fusion Dance – blending modern elements with tradition to appeal to diverse audiences.

Adding grandeur, mythological figures like King Mahabali, Vamana, and Parashuraman will appear in a lively procession, connecting audiences to the roots of Onam’s story. The festival will close with a grand fusion finale, bringing together all the performances in a dazzling display of Kerala’s cultural richness.
 

A Festival of Inclusivity and Joy

Onam, celebrated to honour the benevolent King Mahabali, has always stood as a reminder of prosperity, inclusivity, and cultural unity. While the festival has its origins in Kerala, its warmth transcends borders. Events like Onam Opulence 2025 showcase how traditions can be shared across communities, fostering understanding and togetherness.

For Navi Mumbaikars, the celebration offers more than entertainment. It is an opportunity to experience Kerala’s vibrant identity while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbours, friends, and families. In a city as diverse as Navi Mumbai, such festivals reinforce the idea that India’s strength lies in celebrating differences while finding joy in shared experiences.
