Amid the Tirupati laddoo controversy, Acharya Satyendra Das, chief priest of Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, has called for a complete ban on prasad prepared by external agencies at all major temples. He expressed concerns about the quality and purity of the ghee being used in these offerings and insisted that prasad should be prepared only under the direct supervision of temple priests to maintain its sanctity. Das also urged the government to enforce stricter inspections on the ghee sold across India, emphasizing the importance of preserving traditional practices in temple food preparation. This statement highlights growing concerns over maintaining authenticity in religious offerings.
