Which Prasad is offered to Lord Jagannath for Ratha Yatra?

During the Ratha Yatra, a variety of special Prasad (sacred food) is offered to Lord Jagannath, which is then distributed to the devotees. Some of the key offerings include:

Poda Pitha: A special kind of cake made from rice, jaggery, and coconut, often cooked slowly over a wood fire. This delicacy is specifically prepared during the Ratha Yatra and is a favorite offering to Lord Jagannath.
Chhena Poda: Another popular sweet dish made from fresh cheese, sugar, and semolina, baked to perfection. This caramelized dessert is offered as a mark of devotion and love.
Khaja: A crisp and flaky sweet made from wheat flour, sugar, and ghee. It is one of the most popular offerings during the Ratha Yatra and is enjoyed by devotees.
Dalma: A savory dish made from lentils and vegetables, flavored with traditional spices. This wholesome dish is part of the Mahaprasad served to the deities and later to the devotees.
Jagannath Mahaprasad: The daily offerings made to Lord Jagannath include a variety of rice, vegetables, sweets, and dal preparations. These are cooked in the temple kitchen and are considered highly sacred.
