Now the issue of TTD Laddu has blown up in Ayodhya Ram Temple . During the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, 300 kilograms of ‘prasad’ from the Tirupati temple was distributed to devotees, confirmed Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the temple.
This revelation comes in the wake of a controversy surrounding the alleged use of animal fat in ghee in the preparation of laddoos at the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Andhra Pradesh’s Tirupati, managed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
“If animal fat was mixed in the ‘prasad’, it is unforgivable. Strict action should be taken against those responsible,” Mr Das said,Mr Naidu, in a public address, announced that new suppliers of pure cow ghee, including the Nandini brand from Karnataka, have been engaged to restore the sacredness of the laddoos.
The former chief priest of the Tirupati temple, Ramana Deekshitulu,also expressed concerns over the issue, stating that he had previously raised the matter with the TTD management to no avail. There is talk that the Temple of Ram Lalla has to be purified. TTD has also taken the decision of Purifying the Lord Venkateshwara Temple.
