Palani Panchamirtham
- Palani Panchamirtham is not just a dessert; it's a divine offering, steeped in the spiritual traditions of the Palani Hills in Tamil Nadu, India. Revered as one of the six abodes of Lord Murugan, the temple at Palani prepares this 'Panchamirtham' as a holy prasadam, believed to be blessed by the deity himself. This sacred blend combines five natural ingredients, each symbolizing one of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
