We are happy to announce that we are launching the *Wiki Loves Onam 2024 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Onam_2024* [1] campaign, celebrating the vibrant festival of Onam in the month of September. This campaign aims to document the diverse cultural aspects of Onam, including its unique traditions, festivities, food, art forms, and more on Wikimedia Commons.
We invite you to join us in enriching Wikimedia Commons with images and information that capture the essence of Onam. From its historical significance to the various ways it is celebrated, we encourage participants to upload photos that showcase the beauty and diversity of Onam festivities.
