Certain Hindu communities offer Chana Dal and Jaggery to
Lord Vishnu. It is considered highly meritorious to make the offering.
It is believed that offering Chana Dal and Jaggery helps in
overcoming all forms of financial difficulties. It also helps in overcoming
other difficulties associated with property, studies and relationship.
Chana Dal is slight yellow in color and so is jaggery in
some regions. The popular belief is that making yellow color offerings to Lord Vishnu helps in desire
fulfillment.
