10,000 containers of Ayyappa prasadam found to be of poor quality dumped
Some 10,000 containers of Aravana, the sweet made from jaggery, rice and ghee, as prasadam offering for Lord Ayyappa of Sabarimala in Kerala have been dumped near the incinerator at Malikappuram in the southern state.
M Satheeshkumar, executive officer, Travancore Devaswom Board, informed FnB News, "The stocked containers of Aravana were found burst out and this had happened due to the use of poor quality sarkara (molasses)."
Further, another three tonne molasses that were brought to the temple town for the purpose of making Aravana were sent back as they were of poor quality. A sample of the same was sent to Central Lab, Trivandrum, for analysis.
The molasses were found to be of poor quality in spite of the fact that they were brought after conducting a lab test at the Analytical Lab at Pampa.
