[left] The splendid trophy provided by the Indian Vegetarian Congress in memory of Mr. Jay Mankar who so sadly passed away just before the last World Congress in India 1977. The trophy is made from ivory (taken from an elephant that died naturally) and is in the form of a revolving lamp, symbolising vegetarianism 'lighting the way'. It will be presented to the individual or the Society which has done the most towards promoting the vegetarian movement in the period between congresses. The Indians also distributed fragrant sachets of sandelwood to everyone at the Congress in memory of Mr. Mankar. Photo: G. J. Baerents.
