Panakam – Tradition in a Bottle was founded by Chinmaya Arjun Raja to identify, document and encourage families to make their traditional homemade food products with natural ingredients unique to different communities and traditions in South India. Our products are handmade by selected families who still follow recipes passed down through generations and use fresh local produce and ingredients. The products are all 100 % natural and traditional, free from any sort of preservatives and added colours.
