A monk of the dGe-lugs-pa sect produces a gtor-ma destined as an offering (zal-zas) for an altar table. He makes a dough from barley-meal and water, beside which he has a smallish piece of dough made from wheat flour. With the barley dough (rcam-pa) he kneads a conical form with a straight, round base. The lighter dough is used to produce the decorations which represent flowers. The ready offering is coated with hot butter to improve keeping.
