Enough of laddoos, this Chennai temple offers brownies and burgers as prasad

The prasad in Indian temples are known to be some of the best eaten by devotees after prayers and mostly they are laddoos and pedhas of different forms. A temple in Chennai is however breaking the general notion and is serving devotees with international tastes.

According to a media report, Jaya Durga Peetham in Padappai is giving payasam a miss for brownies, burgers and salads. The menu and food is certified by FSSAI has an expiry date printed on them. The temple has gone a step further by actually installing vending machines within the premises that dispense food. Worshippers have to simply insert a token and they can get their brownies and burgers. The temple also gives cracker sandwiches and tomato cherry salads.

If you thought that was quite different, the temple also offers “birthday cake prasadam” for devotees on their birthday. The officials say it works really well for the older people it adds a special touch when it comes from the temple.
