9 Varalakshmi Vrat Naivedyam Recipes Using Cold Pressed Oils

Cold Pressed Oils have been used in South Indian pooja traditions for centuries, especially during sacred rituals like Varalakshmi Vratham. These oils are pure, unrefined, and extracted using traditional wooden ghani (kachi ghani) methods—making them ideal for both lamp lighting (deepam) and naivedyam (prasadam) preparation.

Why Cold Pressed Oils Are Ideal for Naivedyam

  • Unrefined and free from chemicals
  • Retains natural aroma and nutrients
  • Supports sattvic (pure) energy for pooja
  • Traditionally used in temples and homa rituals
