Tirupathi Laddu

After worshiping Lord Venkateswara, the presiding deity at the Sri Vari Temple at Tirumala Hills in Tirupathi, in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India, pilgrims are given Sri Vari laddu, also known as Tirupathi laddu. Devotees get the laddu as prasadam in the temple following their darshan. The history of prasadam begins with the temple's founding in antiquity. Another name for it was "Maduram". The primary offering, or prasadam, made to Lord Venkateswara, the presiding deity, is laddu. Around the world, devotees use both Laddu and Tirupathi in conjunction. At Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati, Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh, India, it is offered to Lord Venkateswara as Naivedhyam.
