Temple Foods of India: Cuisine
By MadhuliTrivedi on September 13, 2013
“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” ― George Bernard Shaw In India, temple food has always held a special place in the hearts of those who have a religious bent of mind. Paying homage in the form of food to the gods and goddesses is a practice that is commonly followed in a country of numerous rituals.
Food served in temples in Indiais regarded as pure and sacred. These offerings, known as ‘prasada’ in Sanskrit, are either made in the temple itself or are offered by devotees. It is believed that there are around 33 million gods and goddesses in India, so one can just imagine the number of food ceremonies that are performed in temples. Each shrine has its own special prasada and often has vast dining areas to offer food to devotees.
Generally, seasonal ingredients grown in temple premises are used to make the offerings and spices are kept to a minimum in order to make satvik food (food prepared without onion and garlic).Temples in India have their own unique style of cooking and cuisine. Check out this list of some ofIndia’s most famous temples and their legendary cuisines.
