Translating dates to the US Calendar, Onam usually happens sometime in late August through Mid-September, depending on the year. In 2015, Thiru Onam was August 28. In 2016 and 2017 it is September 13th and September 4th, respectively. The festival commemorates the appearance of Vamana avatar of Vishnu and the subsequent homecoming of the legendary Emperor Mahabali. Onam celebrates the Asura King Mahabali's annual visit from Patala (the underworld). On Thiruvonam day, Asura King Mahabali is believed to visit every Malayali home and meet his people.

Are nairs of kerala state hindus as the festival celebrated by nairs are not the one celebrated by hindus outside kerala?
Nairs of Kerala are Hindus. Most of the festivals in Kerala are not for Nairs alone. Festivals like Onam, Vishu etc. are celebrated by all Hindus of Kerala. Hindus outside Kerala have their own festivals. Eg. 'Holi' is not celebrated in Kerala. Essentially the difference is that nairs are a Dravidian tribe and Kerala soceity at large is of Dravidian origin like the majority of people in the four states of southern India. Some of the Tamil festivals like Thypooyam, Pongal etc are also Hindu festivals but not celeberated in northern parts of India. Nairs are in the forefront of organizing, celeberating most of the festivals and are great exponents of classical art forms, music and other cultural activities in Kerala.
