The large platter in the middle is used to hold betel nut and coins; platter located on the left side is used to store fresh flowers; The other platter on the right is used to store fruit. The arrangement of the platter is inherited from the concept of “the sun rises in the east and sets in the west”, so at dawn is the time when all flowers bloom and until the end of a long day, the fruit comes to fruition.

The meaning of the platter in worship is to help the owner express his respect and gratitude to the deceased in the family, the gods and the Buddha.
