Prasadam is called Sacred food. Prasadam translates to "mercy", or "God's Mercy." It can be explained as something that has been offered to God, which now has spiritual benefit.

'Prasad' literally means a gracious gift. It denotes anything, typically an edible food, that is first offered to a deity, saint, Perfect Master or an avatar, and then distributed in His or Her name to their followers or others as a good sign. The prasad is then considered to have the deity's blessingresiding within it. In contemporary Hindureligious practice in India, the desire to get prasada and have darshana are the two major motivations of pilgrimage and temple visits.
