Onam – Kerala's annual harvest festival – was celebrated at Anglo-Eastern Maritime Training Centre, Mumbai in August, filling the campus with colour for the day.
Seafarers on course and the training team came together for it. At the centre was the Pookalam (an intricate carpet of flower petals laid on the floor), designed and built by three cadets from the Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy attending the Cadet Midterm Course, with staff joining in around them.
Then came the Onam Sadhya (a traditional festive lunch served on a banana leaf, comprising of 15 vegetarian dishes), Payasam (a sweet rice and milk dessert), games after the day's training sessions were done, and a traditional Onam dance performed by our colleagues of the training centre and cadets from Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy that drew warm applause from everyone watching.
