The Shri Badrinath Kedarnath Temple Committee in Lucknow has decided to ban the purchase of prasad from nearby shops, urging devotees to offer only homemade prasad or dry fruits at the temple. This decision comes after a meeting with the committee for food safety to prevent any impurity or contamination in the prasad being offered to the deities.
