The Yoga Narasimhaswamy temple in the city will distribute two lakh laddus to mark New Year on January 1 in continuation of its tradition started almost 40 years ago.
The temple authorities told media persons here on Wednesday that the practice of distributing ladoos was initiated in 1994 by Bhashyam Swami and has continued without a break since then.
In all, 60 expert confectioners specialising in making traditional sweets have been roped in and are working round the clock under hygienic conditions to meet the target of preparing two lakh laddus, said S. Srinivasan, administrative officer of the temple located in Vijayanagar. The work on preparing the sweet began on December 20 and will conclude on December 31, he added.
