When Mira and Aarav hear that their friend Ameya’s family is celebrating a festival called Onam, they’re curious — flowers, feasts, boat races, and a king who returns once a year? With Uncle Rohan away, they turn to their magical story book for answers.

Through glowing pages, the book tells them the legend of the kind King Mahabali, why Lord Vishnu came to him as little Vamana, and how Onam became a time of joy, unity, and sharing.

This bedtime adventure gently explains why Onam is celebrated for ten days, the meaning of the beautiful Pookalam flower carpets, and the fun of the grand feast, Onasadya.
