In 1893, the Carbolic Smoke Ball made an irresistible offer to the public, claiming to prevent influenza and colds. Fast forward to 1974 in New York City's Harkness Theatre, where dancers paid homage to Terpsichore, the goddess of dance, showcasing their talent and passion. Matania's artwork "In the Famous Plug Street Wood" offers a glimpse into history with its depiction of soldiers during World War I. Meanwhile, in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia during the Chinese moon festival, giant incense sticks fill the air with their fragrant offering. In Bengaluru (Bangalore), India stands Shiva Mandir temple - a place where devotees make spiritual offerings and seek blessings from deities. Tibetan tankas depict serene scenes that invite relaxation and contemplation. Body Culture / Building represents an invitation to embrace physical fitness as an offering for a healthier lifestyle. At Tanzhe Temple in Beijing, China lies a Buddha statue nestled within a grotto - an awe-inspiring sight that inspires devotion and reverence. Charity Bootblacks extend their services as an offering of kindness towards those less fortunate. History comes alive through Richard III's offer of kingship at Baynards Castle in London back in 1483. Prince George of Wales and his family receive countless offerings from well-wishers who admire them for their royal status. Finally, Ngoc Son Pagoda (Temple of the Jade Mound) in Hanoi provides a tranquil setting for incense offerings - symbolizing prayers for peace and prosperity. From health remedies to artistic expressions; cultural celebrations to spiritual devotion; acts of charity to historical events – these diverse examples remind us that offers come in various forms but always hold significance in our lives.
