TTD Condemns the Allegations

Spiritual 4:55 AM

TTD has clarified that the allegation by a devotee that a Millipede is found in the Anna Prasadam at Madhava Nilayam was baseless and false.

TTD prepares hot Anna Prasadam for thousands of devotees that come for Srivari Darshan and it is an unconvincing claim by the devotee that a centipede fell in Annaprasadam. Even if rice is mixed with curd the creature could not go unnoticed.

TTD said it was a deliberate attempt to defame the holy institution and hurt the sentiments of devotees who consume Anna Prasadam as a blessing from Srivaru.

TTD appeals to devotees to not be carried away by such baseless and false news and fave faith in Sri Venkateswara and TTD.
