Palani Panjamirtham

The panchamirtham is an 'abhishega prasadam' (food that is a religious offering), which is served in a semi-solid state. It is sweet in taste and one of the main offerings for Lord Dhandayuthapani Swamy, the presiding deity of Arulmigu Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple, situated on Palani Hills.
Palani Panchamirtham is a combination of five natural substances — banana, jaggery, cow ghee, honey and cardamom — in a fixed proportion. Incidentally, the term 'pancha' in Tamil means five, and 'amirtham' means delicacy. For additional flavour, dates and sugar candies are added to the five main ingredients.
