Amid many rumours of distribution of prasad of Ram Temple, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has confirmed that they are yet to set up an online platform which could help devotees get the 'prasad' offered to the deity.

"No vendor or agency has been appointed by the trust to distribute the prasad online," confirmed a member of the trust, amid reports of scrambling to procure the prasad through the online platforms among devotees, as reported by TOI.

Anil Paranjape, a resident of Mumbai, who got in touch with the Ram temple trust office on Wednesday, said that some online platforms were offering the prasad. "But I was not sure and hence visited the trust office to procure the prasad in bulk," he said.

The staff deputed in the camp office of the trust near the Ram temple handed over 10 packets of the 'elaichi dana' to Paranjape with instructions to mix it with other prasad for further distribution.

Unlike other temples and religious shrines where prasad is offered by the devotees, in Ayodhya carrying prasad beyond the security checkpoints has not been permitted due to security reasons.

In-charge of the temple trust camp office, Prakash Gupta said, "Ram temple trust is a non-profit organisation. Prasad is only offered within the existing Ram temple to the devotees. No online service has been initiated so far. The prasad is offered free of cost to the devotees and no money is charged. People need to be cautious about online platforms and services as trust has not authorised anybody yet."
