• Both Sundarananda and Lakshminath hold trays of bananas which will be put in the sun for drying. When production exceeds the local consumption, we adopt the traditional methods to preserve various foodstuffs such as drying fruits
• Within two short days of bright sun, these bananas will be dried and can be kept for many months to be offered to the Lord and His devotees. Most fruits can be dried by cutting them into small pieces, sometimes by making a paste from the mashed pulp (such a mangoes)
