The Bundi Laddu Bhog from the Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir in Maharashtra is a traditional offering made to Sai Baba, the revered saint who is worshipped by millions of devotees. This particular laddu holds special significance as a sweet delicacy offered with devotion and faith.

Bundi Laddu is a type of laddu made primarily from chickpea flour (besan). The besan batter is prepared and then poured through a perforated ladle or sieve into hot oil, forming tiny droplets or pearls known as bundi. These bundis are then gently fried until they become crispy and golden. After frying, they are carefully mixed with sugar syrup infused with cardamom and other aromatic spices to enhance their flavor. The mixture is then shaped into round laddus, each containing numerous small bundi pearls.

The preparation of Bundi Laddu requires skill and attention to detail, often undertaken by temple cooks or sevaks (volunteers) with a sense of reverence and dedication. The offering of Bundi Laddus to Sai Baba at the Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir is considered an act of devotion and seva (service). Devotees believe that by presenting these laddus to Sai Baba, they seek his blessings for their well-being, fulfillment of desires, and spiritual progress.
