Attempt to tarnish reputation- Temple Trust.

On behalf of the temple trust, it was said that this appears to be an attempt to tarnish our reputation. The temple makes every possible effort to ensure that the prasad is prepared in a hygienic place. Ghee, cashew nuts, and other ingredients will first be sent to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for testing. Water is also tested in the laboratory. Three government officials oversee operations to maintain strict standards.

Temple Trust’s full attention to cleanliness

According to the temple trust, there is no possibility of dirt. There is no possibility of such unhygienic conditions. When the Prasadam controversy of Tirupati temple started, our premises were also inspected. All safety and hygiene protocols are being followed there.

It is noteworthy that this video has come amid the ongoing controversy regarding laddus being given as prasad in Tirupati temple. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had on September 18 alleged that the previous YS Jaganmohan Reddy government used animal fat in Tirupati laddus.
