HR and CE dept. issues directions to temples under its purview
The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) department has directed temples under its purview to procure ghee and butter from Aavin to light lamps and make Neivedhyam (offering for the deities) and prasadam.
In an order issued to temple joint commissioners and executive officers, Commissioner J. Kumaragurubaran said that this was to ensure quality of food items prepared in temples and prevent environmental damage due to use of poor quality ghee to light lamps. This order comes into effect from January 1, 2022.
Aavin Managing Director N. Subbaiyan had recently written to the HR and CE Commissioner requesting that temples use ghee and butter from the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation, whose popular brand is Aavin.
