Providing food to pilgrims visiting sacred sites, ensuring nourishment and comfort on their spiritual journeys. Spiritual & Cultural Significance: Sacred Duty (Seva): Feeding pilgrims is considered a way of serving God through His devotees. Scriptures say: “Anna daanam maha daanam, bhukta daanam na kinchana” (Offering food is the greatest donation; no other gift equals it.) Support for Pilgrims: Pilgrims often travel long distances on foot or by limited means. Annadanam ensures they receive nourishment and rest during their spiritual journey. Religious Merit (Punya): Organizing Annadanam is believed to bring immense blessings, peace, and prosperity to the donors.
