About Pooja & Festival Catering
Food Rooted in Ritual
For us, food at a pooja or festival isn’t just about filling plates - it’s about spirit. I’ve been doing this for 47 years (yella anubhavam), and every meal starts with devotion. All our dishes are pure vegetarian, made with care for the occasion and the people.
What We Bring
- We make sattvic festival menus for all sacred events - from small family poojas to big temple gatherings.
- Special focus on major festivals: Vinayaka Chavithi, Guru Purnima, Janmashtami, and more. Full Onam Sadya pure veg catering available too.
- For family milestones like Gruhapravesam (house warming) or Upanayanam (thread ceremony), we know how each ritual needs its own touch.
Specialties We’re Known For
- Festival classics: Modak, Undrallu for Ganesh Chaturthi prasadam preparation, Makhana Kheer for fasting days.
- Comfort food: Bisibelebath, Chakkara Pongal, Pulihora – the real deal, no shortcuts.
- Everything made fresh, with high standards for taste and hygiene (ISO certified).
Serving, Our Way
- Want that proper sit-down on banana leaf? We do traditional banana leaf catering (pankti bhojanam).
- For big crowds, we set up a clean, neat buffet.
- We even add some fun with fruit carvings for that festive vibe.
Our goal? Prati vedukaku ruchi, prati vinduku aanandam (Taste for every celebration, joy for every feast). If you care about tradition and flavour, that’s what we serve.
