In a video that has melted hearts across social media, a dog named Chai has stolen the spotlight this Onam. Dressed in traditional off-white and gold attire, the adorable pet was seen sharing a banana-leaf Sadhya with her owner, Rahul. The wholesome clip, filled with playful gestures and heartwarming patience, has quickly gone viral.
The video begins with two banana leaves laid side by side on the floor: one large, packed with the grand Onam spread of curries, pickles, fritters, and rice; the other, a smaller leaf, carefully prepared just for Chai. Matching the festive vibe, Chai’s attire mirrors the traditional look, a cream skirt with a golden border paired with a simple white top.
What makes the clip stand out is Chai’s behavior. Instead of diving into her food, she patiently waits until Rahul sits beside her. As he starts eating, Chai follows suit. At one point, she curiously looks at his plate, prompting Rahul to take a playful bite from her platter before gently feeding her.
Shared with the caption, “Happy Onam from me and mine to you and yours!", the video has already crossed two million views. Comments poured in praising Chai’s cuteness and discipline. “This is the cutest Onam post!!” wrote one user. Another gushed, “She is a gem.”
From heart emojis to playful jokes, netizens can’t get enough of Chai. For many, this festive moment between a man and his dog has become the cutest Onam post online.
