What is the term for the Malay-Muslim communal feast, typically held on mats spread on the floor where guests sit cross-legged and share rice and dishes from a central platter using their right hand?

The kenduri is a cornerstone of Malay social and religious life, held for weddings, funerals, house-blessings, and the completion of Quranic study; the prayer recitation (doa selamat) before the meal frames the gathering spiritually.
