    Dhaniya Panjiri & Panchamrit – Traditional Prasad for Janmashtami and Puja

    Dhaniya Panjiri and Panchamrit are two sacred and traditional offerings prepared especially during Janmashtami, fasting days, and auspicious Hindu rituals. Dhaniya Panjiri is made by slow-roasting whole coriander seeds, nuts, makhana, coconut, and magaz in ghee, creating a fragrant, nutritious mixture believed to cool the body and aid digestion. Panchamrit, meaning “five nectars,” is a divine blend of milk, curd, sugar, honey, and ghee, enriched with nuts and finally blessed with fresh Tulsi leaves.
