Dehradun : These days, the news of adulteration in the famous Laddu Prasadam of Tirupati Balaji temple has become a topic of discussion everywhere. After the Tirupati case, news of adulteration in Prasadam has started coming from many other famous temples of the country. After the cases of adulteration in Prasadam came to light, now the highest organization of saints, Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad has also given its reaction on this issue. The council has advised that instead of Laddu, traditional Prasadam should be offered in the temples and it should also be distributed among the devotees.

The Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad said on Tuesday that instead of laddus etc., cardamom seeds, sugar candy and dry fruits, which are traditionally offered as bhog, should be distributed among the devotees in temples across the country. Council President Mahant Ravindra Puri said that only this type of prasad should be distributed in all temples until the government and the management of the temples guarantee the purity of the ghee mixed in the prasad.
