Panchamrit is made using five ingredients. Panchamrita is a
combination of two words ‘Pancha’ meaning five and Amrita meaning immortal. It
is believed that the combination of the five items make it amrut – elixir of
life. Panchamrit ingredients are:
Milk
Yoghurt
Honey
Ghee and
Sugar
The above items are taken in equal proportion and mixed well
to create Panchamrita.
Please note that the famous Panchamrita made in Palani
Muruga Temple in Tamil Nadu is prepared using an entirely different set of
ingredients.
