Thali Weaving

In Hindu traditions, thali weaving specifically refers to the intricate preparation and arrangement of the thali, a ceremonial plate used in rituals, prayers, and celebrations. While not literally "woven," the concept of thali preparation involves arranging items in a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing way, much like weaving a pattern.
A Hindu traditional thali often includes
Sacred Items
- Kumkum (vermilion powder)
- Turmeric
- Rice
- Flowers
- Incense sticks
- Diya (lamp)
- Sandalwood paste
Offerings
- Fruits
- Sweets
- Betel leaves
- other edible offerings
Holy Symbol Arrangement
Sometimes, intricate rangoli designs or auspicious symbols are drawn or placed on the thali
