An integral part of the Jagannath culture is the food culture that is associated with it as Mahaprasad.
Shri Jagannath Mahaprasad personifies faith and spirituality trough food. It stands for unification, integration and secularism.
A close look at the various sweets and savoury dishes served to the Gods, recognizes the migration of food from the Eastern shores of Puri to across the Indian subcontinent and beyond.
