What happened
K. Muraleedharan criticized the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) regarding operational failures concerning offerings. The issues were specifically cited as a shortage of *aravana prasadam* when the Sabarimala temple was open. Muraleedharan stated he had appointed a dedicated ADM to collect details regarding the stock of raw materials, such as jaggery and coconut oil, used in making the prasadam. The government said it would take further steps based on the ADM’s report.
