Ucha Pooja Nivedhyam Vella

Vella Nivedyam is a simple offering made in Kerala temples, consisting of white rice prepared without salt or spices. It is considered a pure and sattvic offering to deities, symbolizing simplicity and devotion. The nivedyam is usually cooked fresh and offered during pujas, especially in temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It represents the humble surrender of the devotee's ego and is believed to attract divine blessings. This offering holds great spiritual significance and is often distributed as prasad to devotees after rituals.
