Beautiful Vu Lan offering tray on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month: Pure vegetarian food, full of meat

Vu Lan, the full moon day of the seventh lunar month, is the season to show gratitude to parents, grandparents and ancestors, and also the day to pardon the deceased. In addition to going to the temple to pray for peace, many families also prepare offerings to place on the altar to express their respect.

Many families choose vegetarian offerings to show their filial piety and purity on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month. A vegetarian offering tray often includes sticky rice symbolizing fullness, stir-fried mushrooms, vegetarian stir-fried vermicelli, vegetarian spring rolls... In addition, sweet dishes such as lotus seed sweet soup, green bean sweet soup, and a tray of five fruits, fragrant tea and pure water are also present on the offering tray placed on the altar.

Vegetarian dishes are neatly presented, with harmonious color combinations from vegetables and fruits, creating a sense of elegance and solemnity.

Ms. Chau Hoai Anh ( Hanoi ) and Ms. Nguyen Hong Thuy (Hanoi) shared beautiful vegetarian and non-vegetarian offerings for Vu Lan season 2025, which received praise from netizens.

Many netizens left comments praising Ms. Thuy's vegetarian offering tray for being complete and colorful, especially the vegetable salad.
