Panchamrit is a unique offering made for Gods especially by
Marathi speaking people during important puja, festivals, and rituals like
Diwali etc. Here is a brief recipe of Panchamrit prepared in Maharashtra.
It is prepared using equal quantity of honey, ghee, sugar,
yogurt and milk.
The above said five ingredients are mixed properly. It is
first offered as Prasad or naivedya to deities worshipped in home. Later it is
distributed among family members, friends and neighbors.
Please note that the Panchamritam in the famous Palani
Temple in Tamil Nadu in South India is made using an entirely different set of
ingredients.
