Panchamrit – Sacred Prasad & Religious Food Offering

#Trademark Class 29 – Complete Guide for Applicants

Trademark Class 29 under the NICE Classification covers food products of animal origin, dairy products, milk-based preparations, edible oils, fats, and processed food items used for consumption.

Panchamrit is a sacred religious food preparation (Prasad) made from five holy ingredients—milk, curd, ghee, honey, and sugar. It is widely used in Hindu puja, abhishek, temples, festivals, havan, and religious ceremonies and is later consumed as prasadam by devotees.

Since Panchamrit is an edible, milk-based religious food product, it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 29.

If your business manufactures, packs, or sells Panchamrit as a consumable religious offering, your brand must be registered under Class 29 for trademark protection.

This class is essential for temple prasad suppliers, religious food product brands, dairy-based puja item manufacturers, and spiritual food startups.
