This is a unique initiative in Odisha in which people can order ‘temple made food’ and get it delivered at their doorstep. The reason for featuring it here is because of the immense popularity ‘temple food’ commands among the Odia people. Commonly known as ‘prasad’, it is considered sacred as it is made in the temple kitchens. Cooked in earthen pots with generous amount of pure ghee, these dishes pack some serious flavour. E-prasad caters to 4 temples of Bhubaneswar—Ananta Vasudeva Temple, Shani Mandir, Dakshina Kali Mandir and RCM Jagannath Mandir. With door step delivery assured within an hour, it might be the only online merchant in India which provides ‘temple prasad’ at home.
