The Tirupati Laddu — officially the Srivari Laddu — is the most cherished prasadam in all of India.

This GI-tagged prasadam, prepared in the temple's dedicated kitchen (the Potu) using pure ghee, besan, sugar, cashews, raisins, sugar candy and cardamom, is made in quantities of roughly 3 lakh laddus a day — and yet, on a rush day, the queue at the laddu complex can feel almost as long as the darshan queue itself.
