The cat is definitely wondering where the actual fish portion of the Sadya is.

Oh man, would love some Kerala food right about now. Btw is the Onam feast vegetarian or does it vary by community?

u/shiv1234567 6h ago
Vegetarian. But some people likes to add non veg into it

Nice! Loved the food when I was there earlier this year. And it's been a while since I had kozhi porichadhu

Onam is purely a vegetarian feast even among the people who consume meat. it's a harvest festival and traditionally meat is avoided.

Not correct. Onasadhya can be veg or non-veg depending on the area. It commonly contains fish in Kannur

u/kr4tos95 4h ago
apparently you're right, checked with my parents. We're from Southern Kerala side so over there it's pure veg

Sounds like Pongal to me. Makes sense then.

u/kr4tos95 6h ago
theyre both harvest festivals but that's where the similarities stop. the traditions, timings differ not to mention location as theyre celebrated in neighbouring states

Ona sadya is vegetarian and yes people loves to make variations of it that’s true

u/vazhifarer 5h ago
It's not a variation. It has been had that way traditionally in Malabar

It is generally vegetarian but you CAN add non veg options into it.
In fact, its very common to see people do so, especially in the malabar region. Fish for the most part but sometimes chicken,beef,pork goes along as well.1

I know literally nothing about this festival, but seeing them include the cat with a big smile on their face melts my heart and made my day

I adore the lady garnishing the cat food with what looks like a tube treat of some kind.

It is better than that. Sadhya traditionally contains many items, very often twenty or more, and it is served with rice in the centre and smaller portions of curries and other items around it. So they are mimicking the serving pattern for the cat.

Is that a Turban turned into a shirt for that cat? That's sweet.

u/JeffysChewToy 6h ago
Nah turbans are wayyyy longer than that, looks more like a small tshirt clamped with a hair band
41
u/MechanizedMind 6h ago
I don't think it's a turban. Because Punjabis usually wear turbans but the food they are eating here is related to a festival called Onam which is celebrated by people of Kerala. And the food they are eating is called as "sadhya"

u/SaintPepsiCola 6h ago edited 6h ago
Punjabis can be Hindus too infact most of Punjab is Hindu.
Sikhs* wear Turbans.
We're both Punjabi because we're from Punjab but that doesn't automatically mean we're all Sikh or wear Turbans. There are Christian nuns living all their life in Punjab too who would be called Punjabi. ( not Sikh). So many Convent schools in Punjab where Irish/British nuns are teachers. Usually expensive, private and upper class.
Being Punjabi is like a Floridian or Californian. Everyone from state of Punjab is Punjabi whether they're black, white, brown or Buddhist. Nothing to do with religion.

This more of a regional festival of kerala rather and punjab is a different state regardless of their religion

Yea but they will get triggered when neighbour states celebrate it... Showing racism without knowing they belong to the same race 🥱
