Ketupat - rice packed inside woven palm leaf pouch. It is believed that ketupat or kupat means "ngaku lepat" (admitting one's mistakes in Javanese language), in accordance to asking forgiveness tradition during Lebaran. The crossed weaving of palm leafs symbolize mistakes and sins committed by human beings, and the inner whitish rice cake symbolize purity and deliverance from sins after observing Ramadhan fast, prayer and rituals.
