KMCT College of Hotel Management and Catering Technology celebrated Onam 2025, titled “KALASA”, on 27 August 2025 with great enthusiasm and cultural pride on the college campus.
Onam, the festival of harmony, inclusiveness, and prosperity, reflects the rich cultural heritage of Kerala and commemorates the reign of King Mahabali, an era marked by social equality, unity, and the welfare of all.
The celebrations commenced with the creation of a beautifully designed Athapookalam, collaboratively prepared by students, which added vibrant colours and traditional charm to the campus. Adding to the festive spirit, a third-year student, Muhammed Abdul Ashif NK, portrayed the role of King Mahabali (Maveli), captivating the audience and enhancing the traditional essence of the occasion.
As part of the celebrations, the Hotel Management students showcased their culinary expertise by preparing a traditional Onam Sadya in the college training kitchen.
