Magic Of Annadhanam

Serving prasadam at Temple functions is a vital part of the Sanatana Dharma religion.

This activity is the highest form of devotional service to cook vegetarian food, offer it to the temple deity and serve the remnants to devotees attending the temple function. When the deity accepts the food offering it becomes prasadam (God’s mercy) which is filled with Divine blessings.

Serving prasadam and eating it is therefore very auspicious.

The scene here shows the prasadam distribution at the Semenyih Ladang Rinching Maha Mariamman Temple Thiruvizha (annual festival). The grand festival also included prayers, ‘thee midhi’ (fire walking) and chariot procession.
