The apartment where Sshivada’s family lived had 20 families and none of them were Malayalis. Sshivada’s parents invite the entire apartment friends to their home during Onam. They prepare Ona Sadya for twenty families and serve them with pride. To make the Sadya, they had never asked help from anyone, says Sshivada.
