Photograph of banana-leaf meals laid out in a row on a floor covered by a colourful striped cloth in red, purple, orange and blue. Each green leaf holds rice, puri or flatbread, pickles, chutneys, sweets, pomegranate seeds, a banana, and small paper cups of thin liquid such as sambar or rasam. No people are visible; the scene looks like ritual food offering prepared for a puja on the floor of a hall.
