The annadanam on Pratishta Dinam saw good participation from people in the neighbourhood as well family members. It was a traditional Kerala lunch served on banana leaves. It was served on tables laid out in front of the tharawad house. The lunch included rice, dal, sambhar, upperi, pappadam, achar and payasam. The food was of high quality. A team of volunteers did a great job of serving the guests.
