His remains have been kept at the college for public homage, and the last rites will be performed at his residence in Thodupuzha.

Onam, celebrated by the people of Kerala, is a major annual harvest festival that involves a wide range of cultural events.

The festival is celebrated during the Malayalam month of Chingam (August-September) and spans ten days. Onam marks the return of the legendary King Mahabali, a mythical ruler who is believed to visit Kerala during this time. The festival is characterized by various cultural activities, including traditional dances such as Kathakali, Thiruvathira, Pulikali (tiger dance), and Kaikottikali. It also features music performances, folk art displays, and theatrical presentations.

In Kerala, this year, the Onam festivities started on September 6 and is set to end on the last Thiruvonam day, September 15.
