“Quality, purity and sanctity…” says the supplier who makes laddus for the Kashi Vishwanath Temple

There has been a growing controversy over laddus served as prasad at the Tirupati temple. As a result, questions have been raised about the quality, purity and sanctity of the prasad made at major temples across the country, all of which try to secure their own way. This includes the 12th Jyotirling Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, from which devotees buy about a thousand kilograms of Mahaprasad, or laddus, every day.

The Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust has given the responsibility of supplying these laddus to two vendors. As soon as the controversy over Tirupati Prasad arose, a team of officials and employees of the Vishwanath Temple reached the vendor’s location, where the laddus were being made. The team of ‘Aaj Tak’ was also present.

While making the laddus, the SDM of Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Shambhu Sharan Singh, came to check its quality, purity and sanctity. He checked the entire process of making the laddus from start to finish and he and his entire team also tasted the laddus themselves. During this time, in a special talk with Aaj Tak, he told the media that ever since the news of Tirupati Balaji’s Prasad came out, Kashi Vishwanath Temple has gone all out on the Prasad.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the temple with the highest number of devotees in the country. Hence, the quality of Prasad is checked by the food department. Thus, the quality is maintained. Responding to a question regarding laboratory testing, he said that the assay report of ghee is out and no abnormality was found. But we take samples again to ensure satisfaction. He told us that the Prasad offered to Baba Vishwanath ji is prepared by the temple priests themselves. Apart from this, tie-ups are also done with vendors to provide Prasad to the devotees.

Supplier Ashok Halwai said

Meanwhile, laddu maker Ashok Halwai said that quality, purity and sanctity are taken into account. Even the food habits of the workers and himself do not include garlic, onions or intoxicants. The workers wear masks while making laddus. They have to eat and drink at another place outside the building and have to defecate at another place.

He told us that only Sanatanis are involved in making his laddus and the problem of non-Sanatanis does not arise. Rekha, a worker engaged in making laddus, told reporters that she makes laddus while paying attention to hygiene after returning home from her morning bath. One has to go to another place (outside) to eat, drink water or defecate. Abhishek, a worker, also told us that cleanliness is taken very seriously here.
