He also shared a million-dollar video to wish everyone on Onam. The politician can be seen celebrating the festival in the video he posted on Twitter. Shashi Tharoor can be seen enjoying the swing tradition in the most traditional way, which is also known as Onam Oonjaal. The Congress leader can be seen dressed in a white mundu and a red kurta in the 30-second video. He can be seen enjoying the swing tradition with a bright smile on his face. At his ancestral home in Palakkad, he was celebrating Onam. Even though this tradition is usually left to the young girls, he was persuaded by his family to get into the “spirit of things”.
He shared the video on Twitter and wrote, “There’s an Onam swing tradition that one normally leaves to young girls. I was persuaded to get into the spirit of things this year. Happy Onam (sic).”

It’s good to see how a person with the biggest English vocabulary celebrating his culture in it’s purest flavour, with no modification and modernisation.

Onam is a harvest festival and marks the first month of the Malayalam calendar known as Chingam. It is celebrated in Kerala and it continues even after 10 days of the festival.
