Panchamrut is made using five ingredients. Panchamrut is a
combination of two words ‘Pancha’ meaning five and Amrita meaning immortal. It
is believed that the combination of the five items make it amrut – elixir of
life.
Panchamrut ingredients are
Milk
Yoghurt
Honey
Ghee and
Sugar
The above items are taken in equal proportion and mixed well
to create Panchamrut.
Please note that the famous Panchamruta made in Palani
Muruga Temple in Tamil Nadu is prepared using an entirely different set of
ingredients.
