Keep it blooming: Bring colour with floral-inspired spreads and grazing boards &mdash; from marigold cheese boxes to rose-themed desserts and lotus-inspired platters, make every bite look festive.

DIY Snack Cones: Roll banana leaves or festive paper into cones and fill them with desi snacks like farsan or roasted makhana for portable mingling.
