Survivors of Kerala's worst floods in a century on Saturday set aside their misery, even if only temporarily, to celebrate Onam in numerous relief camps across the state, relishing the traditional Onam 'sadya' or lunch.
The second day of the harvest festival, called Thiru Onam, fell on Saturday. Camp officers ensured the availability of vegetables and other commodities after people in the camps insisted they would cook the sadya themselves instead of accepting what was being offered by NGOs and clubs.
Of course, not all the 26 dishes that constitute the 'sadya' could be readied, but people appeared to be happy with what they could prepare. Children gathered flowers in and around the campsites to prepare floral carpets.
