Tirupat

The Lord Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati was "purified" Monday amid the row over animal fat - fish oil, beef tallow, and lard (pig fat) - in ghee used to make the laddoos.

A British traveller, who was stuck in Tirupati due to the lockdown after offering worship at Lord Venkateswara temple near here, was sent back to Hyderabad by road to catch a flight to Ahmedabad and from there to London, a government official said.
