Tamil food in large bowls and basins is put down in front of the deities. As consecrated food each visitor receives a plate with the various items to be eaten in the temple or to be taken home. Usually the food is given by a family which serves also as the sponsor of the cost to carry out the puja (costs for flowers, oil, expenses of the brahman etc.) (04.09.1998)
