Overhead photo of a ritual food offering spread on a white cloth over a tiled floor. Rows of round disposable wooden-leaf bowls hold cooked rice dishes, lentil preparations, pulses, fried flatbread pieces, grated coconut, loose sweets and fruit including mangoes, oranges, and a bunch of green plantains. Brass oil lamps (kuthuvilakku style) sit at the top left and bottom left, one with a lit flame near the bottom edge, beside a wooden plank and a small brass plate with flowers. A peach cloth with green-and-gold borders lies at the left edge. No people are visible, so this shows food offerings prepared for a ritual.
