The Tirupati temple prasadam controversy has sparked nationwide unrest and heightened political tensions. Investigations revealed animal fat, fish oil, and adulterated ghee in the Machu prasad.
In response, Mahashanthi Home organized a purification ritual for Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD). TTD Executive Officer Shamala Rao and officials joined priests in performing the ritual to restore peace.
Reacting to the ongoing situation, the Andhra Pradesh government announced three significant decisions, including a ritual cleansing of the temple. They also ordered an inquiry into the incident at the IGP level. Going forward, only individuals who believe in God will serve on the temple management committee, and the government will implement SOPs that all temples must follow.
