a kasavu-bordered onam welcome for maveli — light all five wicks of the nilavilakku, lay a pookalam ring by ring with a photo at its heart, serve a full sadya on a banana leaf, win the vallam kali, and end with their name in a flower ring.
Create your own Happy OnamLovely's Onam template is wrapped in a kasavu border — cream and gold, like a set-mundu — and starts the way the day does: 'maveli is coming home'. The recipient taps each of the five wicks of a brass nilavilakku until the lamp is lit and the page glows. Then they build a pookalam one ring at a time; every ring that blooms in thumba-white, marigold, chethi or leaf-green shows one of your lines, and when it is complete a photo appears at its centre.
Lunch is next: a banana leaf where every tap serves the next item of the sadya — salt, banana chips, puli inji, avial, pappadam, rice and sambar, and finally payasam with a photo in the bowl — each with a short caption. Then it's the vallam kali: they tap fast to row a chundan snake boat past the rival to the finish flag. It ends with their name inside a small pookalam ring and ഓണാശംസകൾ.
Every line, all sadya captions and the three photos are editable, and a stepper sets how many pookalam rings are laid (3 to 6). Publishing costs ₹49 one-time; Lovely gives you a link and a QR code in about five minutes, and the recipient opens it without any account.
About five minutes. Pick the template, tap any line on the preview to rewrite it, swap the photos for your own, and publish. Lovely gives you a link and a QR code straight away, ready for WhatsApp.
No. The link opens in any phone browser — from WhatsApp, Instagram or a plain text message. There is no app to install and no account on their side.
Every word, including the pookalam flower lines and every sadya caption, plus the photo at the centre of the pookalam, the photo in the payasam bowl and the finale photo. A stepper sets how many pookalam rings get laid, from 3 to 6.
They light the five wicks of the nilavilakku, tap to lay each ring of the pookalam, tap the banana leaf to serve every dish of the sadya, and tap fast to row the snake boat to the finish line before the final message.
Yes. The opening and the ending both say ഓണാശംസകൾ (Onashamsakal), and you can edit those lines like any other text on the page.
