A photograph of a large ritual food offering spread across a purple cloth on the floor. Dozens of small metal plates hold fried snacks, sweets, sev-like noodles, laddus and fried savouries arranged in rows. A heap of cooked rice and a mound of yellow pongal sit on a large round plate with a green banana leaf. Bananas, apples, a mango and cucumbers fill brass plates in the foreground, and brass tumblers and a small brass tray stand at the edges. Brass kalasha vessels sit at the top of the frame. No people are visible.
