ITANAGAR, Aug 20: Governor Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) has  greeted the people of the state particularly the people of Kerala serving in the state on the auspicious occasion of Onam. 
In his festival message, the Governor said that Onam, the thanksgiving festival, originating from the Land of our Keralite brethren, is linked with the harvest season. This is celebrated as a great traditional event with gaiety and enthusiasm. The highlight of the celebrations includes the welcome of the legendary King Mahabali, who in spirit, is believed to be visiting Kerala on the day of Onam. The mood of Onam rejoicing is vividly captured in the age-old rituals, passed on from generation to generation, uniting all in a common brotherhood, transcending the barriers of community, belief and faith, he said.
Taking the opportunity, the Governor appealed to the people to strictly comply with the COVID-19 protocol and COVID appropriate behaviour to remain safe.
