Onam Celebration Viral Video: Festivals are all about love, food and togetherness but this year, an adorable dog named Chai managed to steal the spotlight during Onam. A viral video of Chai dressed in traditional attire has melted hearts online, leaving people smiling from ear to ear. In the viral video, two banana leaves are placed neatly on the floor, one big and one small. While the bigger leaf is filled with rice, curries, fritters and pickles for owner Rahul, the smaller one is specially set for Chai. Dressed in a cute cream-and-gold outfit that looks just like traditional Kerala attire, Chai sits gracefully beside her owner.
What makes the video even more special is Chai’s patience. She doesn’t jump into the food immediately but waits until Rahul begins his meal. At one sweet moment, she looks curiously at his plate and Rahul responds by taking a bite from her portion before gently feeding her. The caption alongside the video read, “Happy Onam from me and mine to you and yours!”
