The Supreme Court of India will hear a batch of petitions today at 1 pm, seeking a court-monitored investigation into allegations that animal fat was used in laddus offered as Prasadam at the renowned Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple. The petitions aim to establish the truth behind these claims and ensure the sanctity of religious offerings.
Amidst controversy surrounding the Tirupati Laddu, Harsh Goenka, the Chairman of RPG Enterprises, shared a National Geographic video showcasing the meticulous process of making this revered prasadam. While the video highlights stringent quality control measures, social media users question the alleged adulteration and call for changes to ensure the laddu remains a symbol of purity and health.
Food safety concerns have escalated across India, particularly in religious sites, with authorities stepping up testing of prasadam and other food items. In Mathura, FSDA officials collected samples from shops near temples, while Andhra Pradesh is investigating allegations of substandard ingredients in Tirupati laddus, leading to a heated political debate.
