Lopamudra Raut Instagram – Opa ! Smashing plates has been used to signal the end and the beginning, to ward off evil spirits and to express abundance. a Greek custom involving the smashing of plates or glasses during celebratory occasions although plaster plates are more likely to be used. PS – these are plaster plates not used for dining. Especially produced to be broken in this case. #celebration #greektradition #happyholidays
