Its not about the sugar issue. But the issue is about the purity of ghee being used across the nation for preparing the sweets in general and the same being offered to the gods in various temples.
Now the UP priests have restricted only fruits for the Gods here in the Temples.The purity of ghee is being questioned and doubted across the Nation.
No sweets in UP temples, devotees told to offer coconut and fruits.
Even the offering and preparations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple are being sent to the lab for testing the purity.
The samples were procured from Haiderganj, where the cardamom seed offerings are prepared and sent to the Jhansi State Laboratory for comprehensive testing and evaluation.
Prakash Gupta, the officer in charge of the Ram Temple trust, revealed that on average, around 80,000 packets of cardamom seeds are distributed daily as a sacred offering.
Amid a row over the alleged presence of animal fat in laddus at the Tirupati Temple in Andhra Pradesh, the chief priest of the Ram temple here questioned the purity of ghee being sold nationwide and said ‘prasad’ should be prepared under the supervision of temple priests
only.
