I'm just going to guess that the beef would be imported.
Killing cows in India is legal depending where you are :

This is not universally true, even of the Hindus, who form a little
over four-fifths of India's billion-strong population. Many Hindus,
who keep cows as milch and draught animals and use bullock power in
agriculture, sell them once their economic life is exhausted. India
has a sixth of the world's cows and 57 percent of the world's
buffaloes. Apart from slaughtering millions of cows and buffaloes for
domestic consumption, India also exports over US$200 million worth of
meat, mainly beef

And not only that killing cows in one temple in India done not for meat but as rituals ..
