The All Kerala Colleges Alumni Federation (AKCAF) Association in the UAE is known for hosting grand Onam celebrations. These events typically feature a range of activities, including traditional dances like Thiruvathira, musical performances, and elaborate floral decorations called Pookalam. The highlight is often the Onasadya, a sumptuous vegetarian banquet served on banana leaves, featuring a variety of dishes.
Such celebrations provide a platform for the expatriate community to reconnect with their heritage, fostering a sense of belonging and community spirit among Keralites in the UAE.
