What types of food are traditionally prepared and offered during Annakut?

During Annakut, devotees prepare an elaborate spread of hundreds of vegetarian dishes as offerings to the deity. These include sweets like laddoos, pedas, jalebi, and barfi; savory snacks such as puris, pakoras, and samosas; and main dishes like rice varieties, curries, and lentils. Fresh fruits, salads, and beverages are also included. The food is arranged artistically in tiers before the idol, forming a “mountain” of offerings. Once blessed, it is distributed as prasadam among devotees. The preparation emphasizes purity, devotion, and gratitude, with each dish representing love and respect for divine providence.
