English: Crow eating cooked rice, which is offered every day by people from Tamil Nadu, from the day's cooked food. The food is first offered to the crows before having the morning meal. The belief is that these are for the ancestors and the crows represent the ancestors. There is also a different belief that the crow being the vehicle of Saturn (Saneeswaran), offering food to the crow reduces the ill effects and difficulties from our life, little-by-little.
