We do not certify the authenticity of the above pictures, and it remains uncertain if the people of Chengannur are bowing to thank the fishermen. According to one of the commentators on Twitter, it is suggested that both the parties are engaged in a mutual prayer for the security of the state from the natural disaster. Notwithstanding, the fisherman deserves much respect for showing their generosity to help the people stranded across many districts of the state. Kerala Floods Declared as 'Calamity of Severe Nature' by Centre. 

Quoting media reports, the monstrous flood has so far caused 215 deaths; about 10.28 lakh residents are staying in 3,270 relief camps.
