An Onam sadya menu card lists the dishes of the vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf on Thiruvonam. It is used for a home lunch, an office party or a Malayali association. These nine show dishes in serving order under a brass nilavilakku, a banana leaf with each dish in its place, and an invitation with blank lines for the date and venue. Type a different dish list or a Malayalam heading, and the same styles carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
