3. Prepare 3-5 offerings such as seasonal fruits and biscuits, but they must be odd numbers (because odd numbers are yang numbers). You can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.
Fruits suitable for worship include apples, peaches, plums, dates, grapefruits, pomelo, oranges, etc.
