Men and women alike are dressed in traditional attire, their hats adding an air of charm to the scene. The clergymen present remind us of the religious significance behind this age-old tradition. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the intricate rope used for ringing bells to the frying pans that have served as vessels for creating these delectable treats. It's evident that this moment holds great importance within both religious and cultural contexts.
