Traditional Onakalikal
Lemon and Spoon Race

About this game

Each runner balances a lemon on a spoon across a short course. No holding it in place, no catching it if it goes — a staple of Onam sports days everywhere in Kerala, and much harder than it looks when the whole campus is watching.

How it works

  • 1Open to everyone on the day — no advance sign-up needed
  • 2The lemon must stay balanced on the spoon without being held
  • 3If it drops, return to the point it fell before continuing
  • 4Fastest across the course wins the heat
  • 5The judges' decision will be final
