Besan laddu bhog from Somnath Mandir in Saurashtra is a revered sweet offering deeply rooted in tradition and spirituality. These laddus are meticulously prepared using besan (gram flour), ghee (clarified butter), sugar, and sometimes flavored with cardamom or garnished with nuts like almonds or pistachios.The preparation begins with roasting besan in ghee until it turns golden brown, filling the air with a delightful aroma. Then, sugar syrup is added to bind the roasted besan into small, round laddus. The texture is crumbly yet smooth, and each laddu is shaped with care, often adorned with edible silver foil (vark) or saffron strands for an added touch of auspiciousness.Offered as prasad to devotees visiting Somnath Mandir, besan laddu holds significant spiritual significance. It is believed to be blessed by Lord Shiva, the presiding deity of the temple, and receiving this prasad is considered a gesture of divine grace and protection. Devotees consume these laddus with reverence, acknowledging the spiritual connection and the sanctity of the offering.
