If you’ve ever had a proper Onam Sadhya, you know it isn’t really a meal. It’s an event that happens to involve food. This year, we’re bringing that full experience to Morickap Resort in Wayanad, and if you’re still deciding where to have your Sadhya this Kerala festival season, here’s everything you need to know.
The Royal Sadhya: Full Menu on the Banana Leaf
This is a proper, traditional Onam Sadhya served on a banana leaf (Ela), with the complete spread you’d expect from a real Kerala celebration:
Ela, Salt, Banana, Banana Chips, Sharkkara Varatty, Pappadam, Curd Chilly, Mango Pickle, Lemon Pickle, Inji Puli, Kichadi, Pachadi, Avial, Olan, Kaalan, Madhura Curry, Koottu Curry, Upperi, Matta Rice, Parippu, Ghee, Sambar, Rasam, Moru, Pulissery, Parippu Pradhaman and Palada Payasam.
The Royal Sadhya is priced at Rs. 790 net per person.
Pookalam and the Sadhya: A Complete Onam Setting
Alongside the Sadhya, Morickap welcomes the festival with a traditional Pookalam, the flower carpet that’s as much a part of Onam as the meal itself. Guests arrive to that setting before sitting down to a Sadhya served the proper, traditional way.
Terms & Conditions
- Minimum Group Size: A minimum of 25 guests is required to arrange the Sadhya.
- Advance Notice: Prior confirmation is required at least 3 days before the scheduled date of the Sadhya.
Group and Corporate Bookings
Since the Sadhya is arranged for groups of 25 and above, it’s naturally suited to larger gatherings rather than a small table for two. This makes it a strong fit for:
- Large family gatherings, where extended family comes together for the festival
- Friend groups celebrating Onam together
- Corporate teams, for whom Onam is one of the best occasions for a team outing at Morickap Resort. Corporate groups can combine the Sadhya with the rest of the resort’s facilities for a full team day out, arranged directly with our team over a call.
When Onam 2026 Falls
Thiruvonam, the main day of the festival, falls on August 26, 2026. Since a minimum of 3 days’ advance notice is required and group Sadhyas tend to fill up around this period, it’s best to confirm your date with us as early as possible.
Why Celebrate Onam in Wayanad Specifically
Onam in a city means traffic and a rented hall. Onam in Wayanad is Onam the way it’s meant to feel: cooler hill air, greenery on every side, and no noise competing with the actual festival. You’re welcome to join us just for the Sadhya itself, or if you’d rather turn it into a short getaway, our rooms and villas can be booked separately for an overnight stay around your visit.
How to Book
Sadhya bookings are handled directly over a call, given the group size and advance notice required. Call us at +91 80471 87082 to confirm your date and group size.
