Amid allegations of animal fat being used in Tirupati laddoos, a cleansing ritual was conducted at the Tirumala temple to rectify alleged desecrations during the previous YSR Congress regime. On Monday, temple officials stated that eight priests, guided by three Agama Shastra advisors, performed the Shanti Homam Panchagavya Prokshana ritual in accordance with Shastras. The two-hour ceremony involved setting up three homa gundas, conducting the Vastu Homam, and purifying vessels, machines, and the ceremonial space. The Panchagavya Prokshana, a sacred sprinkling using cow products, was also performed to sanctify the temple, seeking divine atonement from Lord Venkateswara Swamy for the alleged sacrilege.
