Sacrilege Once Again at Tirumala; Plane Flies Above the Temple

Tirumala: Against the established religious traditions and doctrines, once again a sacrilege had been repeated due to the failure of the vigilance department at the famous Tirumala temple in Tirumala in the form of a plane that had made its flight over the top of the main sanctum sanctorum of the residing deity lord Venkateshwara at the hilltop temple.

According to the doctrines of Aagama Shastras (traditional holy scriptures), flights cannot fly over the top of the main sanctuary of the temple. Notifying the same, the temple principal priests had made several directions in the past and the temple governing body TTD had also petitioned central government seeking announcement of the temple area as 'No flying zone' but in vain. Spiritual experts and devotees are expressing their anger over the repeating demeaning of the temple traditions.
