Onam Fiesta 2025

Melbourne Marthoma Church organized Onam Fiesta on Saturday, 13 Sept 2025 at St Matthew's Parish Hall, Fawkner. Acting Speaker and Victorian Parliamentarian Lauren Kathage MP was the chief guest. Rev. Fr. Jibin Sabu, Vicar of St. George Indian Orthodox Church, attended as the special guest. Kathage inaugurated the celebrations by lighting the lamp, followed by the Onam message delivered by Rev. Fr. Jibin Sabu.
The celebrations began with a prayer led by Rev. Philip Mathew, Vicar of Melbourne Marthoma Church. Church Secretary Alex Sen Varghese welcomed the guests and participants. Onam Fiesta convenor Saiju Simon expressed gratitude to all who contributed to the success of the event.
A beautiful two-meter-wide floral arrangement evoked the true spirit of Onam. The day featured vibrant cultural performances including processions, traditional dances, plays, songs, Chenda Melam, and Vanchipattu.
