Onam specials in Malayalam print media

Literature and festivals have always had a close connection – be it Onam in Kerala, Durga Puja in Bengal, or Bihu in Assam. These are times to celebrate and rejuvenate the mind and soul with some food for thought – with some literature, which takes the form of festive magazines and supplements. Magazines that include the words of the literary high and mighty as well as the aspiring all and sundry.

Onam is a harvest festival celebrated by Malayalis in the Malayalam month of Chingam, which corresponds to mid-August to about mid-September on the Gregorian calendar. According to Malayali tradition, it symbolizes the yearly return of King Mahabali through the values of equality, prosperity, and harmony.

During the festival, Malayalis decorate the entrance of their homes with athapookkalam, a type of floral carpet created by adding a layer of flowers each day from atham (the first day of Onam) to thiruvonam (the tenth or final day of the 10 day festival). In modern times, many make the pookkalam on thiruvonam with lamps arranged in the middle or on the edges. Swings are put over trees and courtyards and traditional games such as uriyadi, vadam vali (tug of war), vallam kali (boat race), and pulikkali (masquerading as tigers) are played. Malayalis perform a special kind of dance called Thiruvathira, often to the tunes of onappatt (Onam special folk songs) sung by the legend Yesudas and others. Women adorn new Kasavu sarees while men don the mundu (dhoti), both in white with gold borders.

The Onam Sadya is a grand vegetarian feast served on banana leaves. It includes a variety of dishes over nine courses with around 20-30 different items ranging from avial, sambhar, rasam, pulissery, olan, kaalan, thoran, pachadi, banana chips, and payasam (kheer). This elaborate feast serves as a symbol of unity.

Media houses such as Malayala Manorama, Mathrubhumi, and Deshabhimani come out with Onam specials, said Malayalam translator Kabani C. Other publications such as Deepika, Janayugam, Mangalam, Kerala Koumudi, Kalakoumudi, and Samakalika Malayalam also bring out Onam specials with serious content not aimed at the mass market. Thaliru, a children's magazine, and online publications also publish festive editions, she added.

The tradition of bringing out Onam supplements began before 1956, she said, adding that when the state of Kerala was formed in 1956, many Malayalam magazines in publication were already bringing out Onam festive editions.

“The Manorama Onam special used to have a circulation of about one lakh copies, though it's not clear whether the dip in magazine circulation has affected them too,” she told

Indian Printer & Publisher. Onam specials are available outside Kerala as Malayala Manorama and Mathrubhumi have editions in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and the Gulf countries. The Onam supplements are also available for eReading through online apps such as Magzter.

The Malayalam periodicals save the best stories of the year for Onam specials, she said, adding it is a great advertisement opportunity for magazines and brands alike as Onam is an auspicious time to make purchases. It is a big revenue opportunity for magazines and newspapers that bring out these multi-volume supplements, often offering extra remuneration to writers, she added.

Last year, all Onam editions of mainstream periodicals were published in two volumes and were priced between Rs 120 and Rs 160. There were more than 250 pages in all editions – Mathrubhumi had 548 pages, Madhyamam 292, Deshabhimani 484, while Janyugam had 388 pages, Dr C V Suresh, teacher and author, told Indian Printer & Publisher.

Care is taken to satisfy readers of all levels with stories, poems, articles, interviews, features, travelogues, and autobiographies, he said.

In the 2023 Onam specials, 30 poems were published in Mathrubhumi, 28 in Deshabhimani, and 20 in Madhyamam while 25 stories were featured in Mathrubhumi, 12 in Madhyamam, and eight in Deshabhimani, he said. Among poets, Sachidanandan and K G Shankarapilla were seen in almost all the versions, while T Padmanabhan and C Radhakrishnan were the popular story writers. “The Prasadhakan came in a single volume of 324 pages for Rs 100. It was a magnificent production with 25 stories and 32 poems,” he said.

“Sunil Njaliath presented the life of Mamata Banerjee as a feature in Mathrubhumi. Zakaria's Turkey travelogue was good. In Mathrubhumi, I enjoyed stories such as N Prabhakaran's Gloria, Chandramathi's Elivatorile Pranayam (Love in an Elevator), and T D Ramakrishnan's Abhayarthi (Refugee). Among poems, Aaratri by P P Ramachandran and Ammu Deepa's Jalappedi (Fearing Water) stood out,” he said.

The section on books in Deshabhimani was interesting and an interview with Mahua Moitra in the Madhyamam was good, he said, adding the efforts to create an Onam special reading season have largely been successful.

“I remember me as a young reader trying to complete all the Onam specials available,” Kabani said, adding she is looking forward to this year’s specials. “As a reader, I look forward to interesting works of creative writing, special cover stories as well as interviews in Onappathipp 2024,” Suresh said.

Cutting across caste and creed, ‘God’s Own Entrepreneurs’ | Lifestyle Books

A past Editor of the CPM’s official mouthpiece, Deshabhimani, the late V.T. Induchoodan, had propounded the theory that the absence of a clearly identifiable “Vaishya” class was the reason for the lack of entrepreneurship in Kerala in comparison to other States. A widely respected voice during his time, Induchoodan passed away in 2002 . His views are disputable but it is a fact that the State has…

Opposition protests against Kerala minister are anti-Quran, says CPM

Opposition protests against Kerala minister are anti-Quran, says CPM

Written by Shaju Philip | Thiruvananthapuram | Updated: September 19, 2020 7:59:32 am

With the Congress and its ally Indian Union Muslim League mounting its protests against Jaleel, CPI(M) state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, in his weekly column in party daily Deshabhimani, termed the protest against the state minister and the…

[indianarrative1]

The controversial Kerala gold smuggling case appears to have taken a new turn with the Holy Quran now taking center stage.

This was expected to happen ever since State Higher Education Minister K.T. Jaleel came under the scanner of both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

By now the NIA has also questioned him for the role he played in distributing the Holy Quran that was given to him by the UAE Consulate.

The latest buzz is that Jaleel will now be called in by the Customs as well.

CPI-M state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, writing in party organ Deshabhimani said that the Congress, Indian Union Muslim league and the BJP were spreading canards in the name of the Quran and targeting Jaleel.

“The UAE Consulate sought the help of Jaleel to distribute the Holy Quran and Ramadan kits. He distributed that at various places. Is that a crime? A section of the media and the opposition is now spreading canards,” wrote Balakrishnan.

“Is distributing the Quran a crime in India and is there any such order in the country? The RSS and the BJP have always been against the Quran and they have always been against Muslims and Communists. To ensure that this happens, the Centre is trying to use the national agencies for it. It’s understandable for the RSS to have an allergy to the Quran, but I fail to understand why the IUML and the Congress are doing it,” stated Balakrishnan.

On Friday, speaking to the media after the CPI-M state secretariat meeting, Balakrishnan said the Congress and BJP were conspiring against the government.

“Both these parties are now using the help of goons to take on our Ministers. The people in Kerala now understand everything and this united protest has no support of the people. The Congress is jittery as they realize the Vijayan government will get a second term and is now resorting to usurp this Left government with the BJP’s help,” added Balakrishnan.

Meanwhile, Jaleel, who has not come before the media ever since he first appeared before the ED and later the NIA, on Friday wrote on Facebook that regardless of whichever agency questions him, something which is not there won’t be discovered.

“I have nothing to fear as I have done even the slightest of the wrong. I can only sympathize with the media who are providing live information to where I am traveling and where I am staying, to those who are waylaying me,” wrote Jaleel.

Hitting back at the CPI-M and Jaleel State BJP president K.Surendran told the media here on Friday that it was Jaleel who had used the Quran to engage in gold smuggling.

“It’s Jaleel who has maligned the Quran and the CPI-M is trying to use the Quran to give Jaleel a martyr’s status. Jaleel has not been given a clean chit by any of the agencies. After being caught, the CPI-M is trying to ride on Quran to rake up passions among the minority community,” said Surendran.

Senior IUML Lok sabha member P.K.Kunhalikutty said the Left government is playing third-rate politics in the name of gold smuggling.

“The Left here is using the Quran for petty political games and this is nothing but cheap politics,” said Kunhalikutty.
