Hashtags

Hashtags for Kerala

Kerala hashtags work when they name the district, because a bare #kerala is lost in backwater photos. Tag the district and the experience, like #alleppeyhouseboat or #munnartea, and people who are planning those days will find your post.

Hashtags for Kerala food, culture and Onam

Sadhya and festival posts have their own tags. Use respectful names.

Hashtags for Onam

Onam posts cluster around a few tags like #onam and #pookalam, and the feed turns over in hours. Malayalam words in Roman script and tags for the dish, the flower carpet or the boat race find people looking for that part of the festival.

Using these hashtags well

  • Name the district

    Kerala has long travel routes. A tag with the district or town, such as #wayanaddiaries, reaches people planning that leg.

  • Use Malayalam words in Roman script only if you know them

    Terms like sadhya or pookalam are searched by readers. Spell them as people usually type them.

  • Keep festival posts respectful

    For Onam and temple festivals, use the accepted names and avoid jokey tags.

Questions

What are good Kerala hashtags for travel?

Use #keraladiaries or #godsowncountry with the district and the experience, like #munnartea or #alleppeyhouseboat.

How many hashtags on a Kerala post?

Up to five, Instagram's limit: Kerala, the place, and backwaters, hills or beach.

Do I need different hashtags for Onam?

Yes. Use the festival tags, such as #onamsadhya and #pookalam, rather than travel tags when the post is about the celebration.
