The Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanams (TTD) recently halted its orders for Nandini ghee, a product provided by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), sparking widespread attention. The decision came after the temple board decided to review the quality of the ghee used in preparing prasadam for the millions of devotees visiting the temple. Nandini ghee had been a staple in the preparation of the sacred offerings, but concerns over its quality prompted this unexpected move.
In response, the Karnataka Milk Federation has issued a statement defending the quality of their product, assuring that Nandini ghee meets all required standards for purity and taste. The Federation has requested a review of the decision and is in talks with the Tirupati board to resolve the issue amicably. Devotees, who have grown accustomed to the unique taste of the prasadam, are watching the situation closely.
The temporary halt has led to speculation about whether other suppliers will step in, but the KMF remains hopeful that the situation will be resolved swiftly. Meanwhile, the decision to pause orders has sparked a broader discussion on the importance of maintaining the quality of offerings in religious institutions, particularly ones as significant as Tirupati.
