Brahmotsavam festival approaches, beginning October 4, the TTD is gearing up for an influx of millions of devotees. Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh Naidu has reassured that the new vendor is fully capable of meeting the temple’s high demand for quality ghee.

The Tirupati temple trust announced it has restored the sanctity of its prasad amid concerns of adulteration, asserting the purity of Srivari laddu remains intact and reaffirming its commitment to uphold the ‘holiness of Laddu Prasadam’ for devotees.

The Andhra Pradesh government will hold consultations with priests and ‘top Hinduism experts’ to decide its next course of action regarding the Tirupati Balaji temple ‘adulterated prasadam’ controversy,

The ghee used for preparing prasadam was tested at a Gujarat-based National Dairy Board which found traces of "foreign fat".
