Onam 2020: celebrations overshadowed by the pandemic

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Kerala's&nbsp;harvest festival Onam&nbsp;which began on the 22nd of August, feels different this year, with celebrations restricted to the homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan&nbsp;has also urged people to avoid large social gatherings and stay home on&nbsp;Onam.
Under normal circumstances, the much waited 10-day long festival is marked with grand&nbsp;celebrations.
One of the greatest attractions of the festival is the&nbsp;Onam Sadhya, which is a huge spread of 26 vegetarian dishes, served on the 10th day of the festival. This feast is unlike any other! There is a particular order in which the food is served on the banana leaf as people sit cross-legged on a mat laid on the floor to eat. Some of the items served include papad, banana wafer,&nbsp;&nbsp;avial&nbsp;and&nbsp;kuttu&nbsp;curry.
exquisite flower carpets called 'Pookalam' is another popular Onam&nbsp;trait. This year, keeping in mind the risk of transmission of Covid-19, the chief minister urged people to use local flowers for the carpets and avoid transporting them from other states.&nbsp;
