Ayodhya Ram Temple Head Priest Seeks Ban On Prasad Prepared By External Agencies

A massive row has erupted over the alleged use of substandard ingredients and animal fat in the preparation of laddus at the Tirupati Temple.

The controversy over the alleged adulteration of Tirupati Temple laddus has sparked reactions from Ayodhya, Prayagraj, and Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, with calls for reform in the preparation and distribution of 'prasad'.

In Ayodhya, the chief priest of the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, Satyendra Das, demanded a "complete ban" on prasad prepared by external agencies.

He expressed concerns over the purity of ghee used in temple offerings, urging that "all prasad should be prepared under the supervision of temple priests".
