Panchamruth
Panchamruth, also known as Panchamrit, is a revered mixture widely used in Hindu rituals, particularly in pujas (prayers) and abhishekam (ritual bathing of deities). The term "Panchamruth" comes from Sanskrit, where "Pancha" means five, and "Amruth" means nectar. This divine concoction is made from five key ingredients, each symbolizing spiritual nourishment and offering significant health benefits.
