Maha Annadhanam
Annadhanam literally means “the donation of food.” Maha Annadhanam is the grand or large‑scale version of this — feeding hundreds or thousands of people as an act of devotion, service, and equality.
It is considered one of the highest forms of charity because offering food is seen as offering life, care, and compassion.
