Most of the 18 residents of Tripunithura care home are single women in the 70-96 age group

- Manoj Viswanathan @Kochi

Old age brings with it health issues, loneliness, and anxiety. And the sense of desperation can lead to depression.

At the Sree Poornathrayeesa Vridha Sadanam in Tripunithura, elderly women find relief through mutual support. Most of the 18 residents of the care home are single women in the 70-96 age group. They tide over the loneliness through devotion and celebration.

On Thursday, as Keralites marked 'Uthradam', also known as First or Little Onam, the women laid a beautiful pookkalam and came together to sing songs and share stories. At noon, they had a sumptuous Onam feast with a group of visitors. On Friday, Thiruvonam day, a bigger celebration has been planned.
