TIRUPATI LADDU

Also called SriVari laddu. It is offered as Naivedhyam to Sri Venkateswara and prepared within the mandir kitchen (laddu potu) by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.

It has Geographical indication tag so only Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams can make and sell it.
The Laddu was invented during the reign of the Pallava dynasty. It is even mentioned in inscriptions dating back to the 1480s when it was known as “manoharam”. Originally, it was served in a loose, chunky form. Its present ball form came in 1940s.
About one tonne of besan flour, 10 tonnes of sugar, 700 kg of cashew nuts, 150 kg of cardamom, 300 to 500 litres of ghee, 500 kg of sugar candy and 540 kg of raisins are used daily to make the prasad.
An average of 1.5 lac laddu are prepared daily.
