Most temples allow only trained pujaris to cook the <i>naivedya</i>. The <i>naivedya</i> offered directly to the deity is considered as <i>prasada</i>, the deity having "enjoyed" it. This can be considered to be a symbolic rather than a literal offering. </p><p>Offerings of food in home shrines are relatively simpler than the Hindu temples. A common practice is to mix the <i>prasada</i> back into the remaining food before partaking it. </p><p>Tasting during preparation or eating the <i>naivedya</i> food before offering it to the god is strictly forbidden. The food is first placed before a deity and specific prayers are offered with accompanying rituals. Afterwards, the food is considered as having been blessed by the god, and has officially become the sanctified <i>prasada</i>. </p><p>In its material sense, <i>prasada</i> is created by a process of giving and receiving between a human devotee and the god. For example, a devotee makes an offering of a material substance such as flowers, fruits, or <a href="/wiki/Indian_sweets" class="mw-redirect" title="Indian sweets">sweets</a>. The deity then 'enjoys' or tastes a bit of the offering.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This now-divinely invested substance is called <i>prasada</i> and is received by the devotee to be ingested, worn, etc. It may be the same material that was originally offered or material offered by others and then re-distributed to other devotees.
