What do Buddhists offer at the shrine?

normally food

Aupmanyav adds: Garland/flowers, incense, coloured powers, clothes, ornaments, decorations, light (earthern or metal lamps), milk, honey, yoghurt, sweets/coconut. Garlands are kept back by the priests, some flowers may be returned, as also some of the eatables, which are taken as blessings of the God and shared among family and friends. No offering is compulsory otherwise people may just bow to the God and return. The priest will still give some flowers, eatables, and put a red/yellow (sandalwood paste) mark on the forehead as blessings of the God.
