Food eating Tradition

So many countries have so many versatile style about eating food. India has also various tradition in even every states too.

I would like to discuss or text about South Indian brahmins eating food style on shraddh period....

There are few matter about hands....

If you would like to give food to God given by fingers that is called as Dev Arpan

If you would like to give food to Rushee or saint you have to use hand's between portion of fingers and wrists that's called as Rushee Arpan...

If you would like to give food to you pitru mean died relative, use your thumb that's called as Pitru Tarpan...

If you would like to eating food your self, use your wrist part and that's called as Swa Arpan....

Here few words are same like Arpan and Tarpan, both meaning ate very different...

When you eating food, there are ancient tradition like...here under, may be wrong but mostly effective....

On kel patra or patrala paper as per given photo food will be ready to serve....

Taking water in hand and making border surrounding the patrala paper...namaskar to the bhojan mean food...

Then first eating RISE, called as APOSHAN Bhaat...

Then whatever you would like to eat according.....

Then last again eating food called as rise or Bhaat by the hand's wrist part... that's actually called as BrahmBhojan....

After eating all food or making the paper clean, don't stand up without hand wash. Again namaskar the food plate and pick up the patrala paper for giving same to animals, like cow ....

I texted word doing NAMASKAR to the food because it's Agni or fire which is doing or making coolness to our stomach...in sanskrut called as Jatharagni Shaman...

Here few matter are not texting as I don't have to open dark secret....
