Tirupati Prasadam Row: Is Ghee Brand Change Behind `Animal Fat` In Laddoo?
The claims of ‘beef tallow,’ ‘lard’ and ‘fish oil’ in Lord Venkateswara Swamy’s Laddu Prasadam at Tirupati shrine has sparked political mudslinging as the ruling TDP is accusing the YSRCP regime of compromising the sanctity of the temple and the religious sentiments of devotees while the YSRCP has deemed the claims ‘baseless.’ The prasadam is traditionally made with pure cow ghee, and the controversy has raised concerns about why the supply of the famous Nandini ghee for the temple was halted last year.
