Know what is the whole controversy
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, citing a lab report, claimed that animal fat was found in the pure ghee used in temple prasadam. Apart from this, low quality ingredients are being used in making prasadam. Since then, there has been political turmoil in the country.
TTD Executive Officer Shamala Rao issued a statement
On the Tirupati laddu prasadam controversy, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Executive Officer Shamala Rao said that a sensory panel has been set up that will evaluate food samples on aroma, taste and texture parameters. Various events are held for Lord Venkateswara. To overcome any 'mistakes' that may have occurred during rituals, TTD organises a one-day 'Pavitrotsavam' every year to restore faith in devotees and perform 'Samproksha' and 'Shanti Homa' prayers with a calm mind, we hope that the sanctity of the devalayam will be restored.
He further said, “We have set up a system to check ghee adulteration for the first time in TTD in the last three months. We have never checked ghee adulteration in outside laboratories, so we will naturally blacklist it and try to set up an in-house lab.”
