Panak
Panha or Panakam is used as a good refresher in summer.
The favourite drink of Sri Narasimha appears to be water mixed with jaggery-"Panakam". Whichever sannidhi we go to, we find this Lion God propitiated with "Panakam". Till today, there is the tradition of offering this sweetened water every evening to Lord Malola Narasimha (one of the nine forms of Narasimha Swami), at the Sri Ahobilam Matham. And you must have heard of the "Panaka Narasimhan" in Andhra Pradesh, who, irrespective of the quantity of "Panakam" poured into His cavernous mouth, accepts half the offering and returns the other half as prAsadam, signifying His insatiable appetite for this drink.
Ram Navami is celebrated as the birth day of lord Rama,the prasad offered t lord rama is Panak. Panak is a must during Rama Navami festival. Other dishes vary from temple to temple.
