@pujari_anup @coolfunnytshirt Some addition(Clarification) to your post:

1. Prasad is free if you ask for a handful, Noone will ask you a single rupee, If you want to buy a meal, it's paid, B'cz the quality of grains and materials have a cost associated with it and there are more then 50+ items on a regular+ @pujari_anup @coolfunnytshirt Day with lot of options to choose from.

2. This is definitely not langar( Mass free prasad)
3. Yes, there are management and Panda(Local pujari) issues on hygiene and distribution. But remember it's Govt owned.
So govt takes hefty share from it.
