A Dharmagraha meeting was held by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad in response to allegations of desecration of the Tirupati Laddu Prasa. The meeting was led by various Swamijis and attended by prominent Hindu leaders.
During the meeting, resolutions were passed demanding that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu be investigated by the CBI. It was stated that those responsible for the desecration and any related negligence should face severe punishment. The participants emphasized that such acts should not occur in any temple.
The meeting also called for the Tirumala Tirupati temple to establish a large Goshala with 25,000 indigenous cows to produce ghee needed for temple rituals. It was suggested that other temples across the country should rear their own cows for this purpose.
Furthermore, it was insisted that all temples should be free from political and governmental influence and returned to Hindu society. To facilitate this, the establishment of a National Religious Council and a State Religious Council was proposed.
Concerns were raised about adulterated sesame oil, lamp oil, and coconut oil being used in temple lamps. The meeting requested that all temples light lamps with pure ghee instead. The leaders urged temple authorities to ensure that the materials used in rituals are of the highest quality.
