A priest at the temple informed that 150 employees of the temple as well as representatives from social organisations spent five days preparing the laddus after MP Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declared that the 900-kilometre-distant Ayodhya would receive the ladoos as prasad of "Baba Mahakal''.

At a press conference held on January 12 in Bhopal, CM Yadav announced, "We are going to send five lakh laddus from the famous Mahakaleshwar Mandir, Ujjain, to Ayodhya for the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple on January 22." Yadav said that the Ayodhya temple had been destroyed by Mughal ruler Babar. He had questioned how Madhya Pradesh could miss out on the celebrations now that it had been restored.
300 tons of the best aromatic rice from neighbouring Chhattisgarh have been delivered to Ayodhya for the Ram temple's consecration ceremony.
