This is a closeup of a "laddige" my wife and I received two days ago at #Udupi #Krishna Matha. The ridges are finger impressions when the "ball" was made. This particular ball had actually been offered to Krishna at the altar earlier that day, and we were #fortunate to receive it. πββοΈ

New #utensils added to #Udupi #Krishna Matha #kitchen, #India. At least some of these are likely to be used for decades to come. πββοΈβΊοΈ
25 large spoons, 12 small spoons, 2 handmade pots. All well-crafted high-quality stainless steel. Total cost βΉ6500 ($70). I think money well spent.
