TTD urges devotees not to believe false propaganda
TIRUMALA, MARCH 10, 2026: The TTD has clarified that there is no shortage of cow ghee stocks required for the preparation of Srivari Laddu Prasadam. The TTD stated that certain individuals have recently been spreading false information on social media, claiming that ghee stocks are unavailable and that laddu preparation has been disrupted. TTD urged devotees not to believe such baseless propaganda.
The TTD informed that the supply of cow ghee required for the preparation of Srivari Laddu Prasadam is being ensured through a three-tier procurement system. Instead of depending on a single supplier, ghee is being procured from three different firms, ensuring that the supply chain remains uninterrupted even if any unforeseen situation arises.
In this context, it is true that a ghee tanker belonging to Indapur Dairy, which was transporting ghee to Tirumala, recently met with an accident near Kondapur in Kadapa district. However, TTD clarified that the accident involving a tanker from one firm has not affected the supply of ghee, as supplies from the other two firms are continuing without interruption.
At present, about seven lakh Srivari Laddu Prasadams are readily available for distribution to devotees. Therefore, both the preparation and distribution of laddu prasadam are continuing smoothly without any disruption.
TTD further stated that considering the expected increase in pilgrim rush during the summer season, all necessary advance arrangements have been made. Regular maintenance of machinery and conveyor belts in the Laddu preparation unit (Potu) is being carried out periodically through the respective agencies to ensure smooth operations.
While the facts remain as stated above, spreading misinformation that TTD has no ghee stocks and that Srivari sevas and laddu preparation are being affected is unfortunate. Such misleading propaganda may hurt the sentiments of devotees.
The TTD once again clarified that the preparation and distribution of Srivari Laddu Prasadam are continuing smoothly, and devotees need not have any concerns.
