Artisan making laddus in Nazarbagh.
Ayodhya. After cow fat and fish oil were found in Tirupati’s Laddu Prasad, Hanumangarhi Akhara has also become alert. Hanumangarhi Akhara is planning to hold a meeting with the prasad shopkeepers within a day or two. The purpose of this meeting is to advise the shopkeepers about the quality and purity of the prasad.
Mahant Sanjay Das, successor of head Mahant Gyan Das of Hanumangarhi Akhara, said that pure desi ghee laddus are offered to Hanumantlala seated in Hanumangarhi. Here, complete care is taken of purity and quality. We have no doubt about purity and quality, yet a meeting will be held with all the shopkeepers of Hanumangarhi and they will be discussed about quality and purity, so that there is no tampering with the purity of the prasad. He said that information will be taken from the shopkeepers about which ingredients of which company they use to make prasad like laddu and peda, so that their purity can be assessed.
The traders said that the use of Dalda has already been stopped
Businessman Gyan Deen told that he only uses Gyan Company’s pure ghee to make laddus. It is available in the budget. Also, laddus are made by mixing gold coins, gram flour and sugar. Businessman Vikas Gupta told that about a year ago Hanumangarhi Akhara had banned laddus made from Dalda. Now only laddus made in pure ghee are offered to Hanumantlala. The Akhara also gets the Prasad checked from time to time.
Ayodhya’s laddu and peda have received GI tag
Hanumangarhi’s laddus and khurchan pedas have also received the GI tag. These sweets are found in almost every shop in Hanumangarhi. The gram flour laddus made in desi ghee available for prasad in Ayodhya Hanumangarhi are very popular among the devotees due to their aroma and unmatched taste. To make khurchan peda, desi ghee is cooked for a long time so that a thick layer of light brown colour is formed. After this, dry fruits, sugar, cardamom etc. are added to it in various ways.
