Context within Hindu tradition

Although saṃskāra can refer to many kinds of rites of passage or mental

impressions, anna saṃskāra is specifically tied to food.

It is not one of the major life‑cycle saṃskāras (like annaprāśana, the first

feeding of solid food), but rather a ritual or process applied to food itself, 

making it fit for offering or consumption.

Summary

• Primary meaning: consecration or sanctification of food.
• Secondary meaning: preparation or processing of food (including cooking).
• Literal breakdown: anna (food) + saṃskāra (refinement, consecration).
