Yes, I too wanted to ask you the same question. Are these sugar sculptures? Such a cute assortment of things arranged for puja on the platter. Are the fruits made of wax

Melted sugar is solidified in molds of predefined shape. These together with the carved coconuts are offered to the bride at the time of marriage. Since goddess tulasI is the bride here, these also form part of the ceremonial offerings. In fact, when we were young we used to save some crackers to be set off during this festival.

We call the mold as well as the final product as sakkare acchu (sugar mold).
