Amidst ongoing controversy over presence of animal fat in Tirupati Laddus, another controversy has come to the fore on Tuesday. Recently, a video is circulating on social media, in which, mice on prasad packets from the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple, was allegedly seen. Thus, raising health concerns among devotees.
However, the temple’s management, the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple Trust (SSGT), has denied these allegations and launched an investigation.
Later, Shiv Sena leader and SSGT chairperson Sada Sarvankar addressed the claims. Speaking at a press interaction, SSGT chairperson said, “Lakhs of laddus are distributed daily, and the place they are prepared is clean. The video shows a dirty place. I can see it is not of the temple and has been shot somewhere outside.”

Earlier at a previous press conference, Sarvankar reiterated the temple’s commitment to food safety, stating that the ingredients used for prasad, including ghee and cashews, undergo rigorous testing at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s lab before being utilized. “This means we pay full attention to ensure that the prasad given to devotees is pure.” said sarvankar.
