No, Sudha Murty was not selling veggies. Those assorted greens were for the deity

After a picture of Sudha Murty, where she’s sitting amid heaps of vegetables, went viral on social media, the Infosys Foundation chairperson cleared the air, saying she was there to worship the deity.

She was quoted saying, "I do not like being in the limelight. Many users have got it wrong. I am not sitting there to sell vegetables. It pains me to hear such stories. I am sitting there as a devotee, not as a vendor. This ritual is very close to my heart. I am sitting in the middle of assorted vegetables to pick good ones to prepare meals during the three-day annual ritual — Ragahvendra Rayara Samaradhane — that takes place near my house.”
