Red… Where Worlds Meet
Coca Cola meets kumkum - only in India…..
The red powder on the plate is kumkum - a powder that is traditionally a symbol of fertility. Married women in many parts of India use kumkum either as a round on their forehead or in the parting of their hair. traditionally,it is not worn by unmarried girls or by widows.

the crate at the bottom is coca-cola - considered, by many, to be the parent of Santa Claus…..
