What is on each thali?

The kundan thali has roli, rice and a diya. The painted thali has kumkum and a clay diya. The flower thali has petals, a coconut with a red thread, a diya and two sweet boxes.

What are the three surfaces?

A dark carved wooden floor, a folded red and gold silk cloth, and white marble with a sprig of green leaves and a small brass bell.

Are these instructions for making a thali?

Can I ask for a different decoration?

Yes. Type the decoration you want and the same thali setting is drawn. The nine shown are the samples.

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.
