ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Prasad

Okay kiddo, have you ever been to a temple or a religious place where people offer some sweets or fruits to god? Well, when people offer these things to god, they consider it as a blessing and a gift from god. This gift is called prasad. It's like a reward from god for being a good person and offering something to him/her. People believe that by consuming prasad, they get closer to god and their wishes and desires are fulfilled. So, next time you go to a temple or a religious place, don't forget to offer some prasad to god and receive his/her blessings in the form of a sweet treat!
