🚨Heartbreaking revelation from the CBI:
Our sacred Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the crown jewel of Hindu devotion, has been tainted by sheer greed. Over 68 lakh kg of adulterated ghee, worth a staggering ₹250 crore, was supplied from Uttarakhand between 2019 and 2024.

This wasn’t just oil or fat; it was the lifeblood of our prasad, the sacred laddu that millions of devotees queue for hours, tears in eyes, to offer and receive as divine blessing.
Imagine this: Blacklisted dairies, shadowy proxy companies, and even suspected insiders within TTD allegedly orchestrated this betrayal. The probe uncovered arrests of aides to former officials, exposing a web of corruption that infiltrated the holiest of kitchens. Our laddus, symbols of Lord Venkateswara’s grace, meant to carry His prasadham straight to our souls, were poisoned with impurities.
How does one even process this? It’s like a dagger to the heart of every bhakt who fasts, prays, and places unwavering faith in these rituals. Our aastha, built on purity (shuddhi), feels violated.
