Every Tuesday, devotees from various villages gather to participate in the deep bhajan kirtan at the Hanuman Temple. This spiritual gathering begins around 6:30 pm and continues until midnight, following the auspicious timing chosen by Lord Hanuman himself. As part of the temple’s offerings, it’s essential to manage the distribution of food prasadam among all the devotees.To ensure the smooth functioning of this sacred tradition, careful planning and coordination are required. Here’s how we can manage the food prasadam distribution:

1. Volunteer Coordination: Recruit volunteers from the local community to assist with various tasks, including food preparation, serving, and cleanup.

2. Food Preparation: Arrange for the cooking of prasadam in a hygienic and efficient manner. This may involve preparing traditional dishes such as rice, dal, vegetables, and sweets.

3. Quantity Estimation: Estimate the number of devotees expected to attend the bhajan kirtan to determine the quantity of food required. It’s essential to have a surplus to accommodate unexpected attendees.

4. Distribution Setup: Set up designated areas for food distribution within the temple premises. Ensure that these areas are easily accessible and organized to facilitate smooth flow.

5. Serve with Devotion: Serve the prasadam with love and devotion, honoring each devotee as a manifestation of the divine. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene throughout the distribution process.

6. Sustainability Considerations: Implement eco-friendly practices such as using biodegradable serving utensils and minimizing food waste.
