Onam content can focus on Pookalam, Sadya, traditional clothing, Vallam Kali or family celebrations. Regional tags such as Kerala can add useful context when they match the post.
Instagram announced in December 2025 that posts and Reels can use up to 5 hashtags. Because product rollouts and public documentation can change, confirm the current in-app behaviour before publishing. Pick the 5 that describe the post most precisely.

Editor field note
Onam content often features Pookalam, Sadya, traditional clothing, family gatherings, Vallam Kali and Kerala community events. These are distinct content angles, so the strongest set begins with the tradition shown. Kerala or city context can add precision for local posts, while diaspora community events may combine Kerala traditions with the local venue and audience.
Editorial guidance
Onam is closely associated with Kerala and can be represented online through Pookalam, Sadya, traditional clothing, Vallam Kali and family gatherings.
Tag the specific tradition or activity and add Kerala/location context when the post is actually about the region.
Editor’s note: Onam is visually rich but culturally specific. The page should let a user choose the tradition that matches their actual post.
