What is the difference in onam at new and old generation?

The celebration of Onam has evolved between the old and new generations, with traditional customs and rituals often becoming less emphasized in favor of modern festivities. Older generations typically focus on cultural aspects such as intricate pookalam (flower arrangements), traditional music, and the Onam feast (sadya) prepared in a traditional manner. In contrast, the new generation may prioritize social gatherings, entertainment, and contemporary interpretations of the festival, often incorporating technology and social media into their celebrations. This shift reflects broader changes in lifestyle and cultural practices over time.
