Annakut
Happy Diwali and Happy New Year!Annakut - 'Anna' means 'food' and 'Kut' means 'mountain'.
New Year is celebrated by offering hundreds of dishes to God. At this time in India after monsoon crops are ready to harvest and the first offering is made to God and food is then distributed as Prasaad.
These are pictures of Annakut darshan at Swaminarayan temple in Whittier, California. It was spectacular. The food was delicious!

WOW! this is something new. I have never seen anything like this before! Happy Diwali!
..i could not resist writing this. With all due respect, i used to call some one AanaKutti, in mallu land Aana means elephant and Kutti could be roughly translated to baby, so Aana-Kutti means baby elephant. Checkout the Baby Elephant song from Hatari.
