Annadanam and food listings
Find meal services for devotees, nearest first.
Please confirm before you travel. Operating hours, meal availability and locations can change without notice, and a listing may be out of date, especially when you are offline. Check with the place if you can.
What a listing shows
- The name, address and the kind of meal service.
- Whether it is free or paid. Irumudi never guesses this.
- Meal times, where they are known.
- The date the listing was last verified.
- A link that opens directions in your maps app.
Anything that has not been confirmed is shown as “not provided”, not filled in.
How listings are checked
Anyone can tell us about an Annadanam or a Padi Pooja on the Share a listing page. Nothing they send is shown in the app straight away. We phone the number they give to check the details, and we publish only what we can confirm. A listing we cannot confirm is not published.
Listings can also be entered by the people who run the app. Each one records its source and a last-verified date, and a reviewer marks it verified before it is published. If a listing has not been checked for 90 days, the app shows a note that its details may have changed. A listing can also be marked temporarily unavailable or withdrawn.
If there are no verified listings for what you chose, the app says so instead of showing something invented.
Know an Annadanam or a Padi Pooja?
Share it once and we will take it from there. You tell us the place, the dates and the meals, and we call you within 5 to 6 hours to check them. If it is happening today, say so on the form and we will see it first.
Your place
You can browse the list without sharing your location: choose a city, and the list shows the nearest first. If you tap Use my location, the app asks for your location once and uses it to sort and filter the list by distance (1, 3, 5, 10 or 25 km). The place is kept on your phone, rounded to about a kilometre, and the distances are worked out there. It is not sent to us. You can change this in your phone settings.
Who runs these services?
Not Irumudi. The app lists services run by others. It does not operate, sponsor, endorse or guarantee any of them, or the food they serve.
