Ever heard of a temple where mouth-watering chocolate bars are offered by devotees to the presiding deity?


While devotees offer flowers, sandal paste and fruits to invoke divine blessing, the 'Thekkan Palani' Balasubramania temple differs as chocolate bars are offered in the sanctum sanctorum. Chocolate bars of a leading brand are made as offering by devotees and they get them back as 'prasdam' after poojas. No wonder, the presiding deity of the shrine located at Subrahmanyapuram on the outskirts of the the town is known locally as " Munch Murugan."


According to temple authorities, people, irrespective of caste, creed and religion, come to the shrine with cartons of chocolates, seeking the blessings of Lord Muruga. Naturally, children flock to the temple in large numbers, especially during the examination season. No one knows for certain how or when the ritual of offering chocolate began.

In bhairon mandir a pandavakaleen place of worship in delhi ,liquor is offered to God and also given as prasad. this is the temple from where a procession is organised in phool walon ki sair festival to the mazaar of bakthiar kaki a muslim saint in mehrauli. this festival was started in days of Akbar and revived by j. nehru in 1954 as a symbol of national integration
