Tirumala Temple’s Sacred Atmosphere Under Threat from Aerial Activities
The serene environment surrounding the iconic Srivari (Lord Venkateswara) temple in Tirumala is facing disturbances due to low-flying planes, helicopters, and various aerial activities. B R Naidu, the Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), has raised concerns about the impact these disturbances have on the sacred atmosphere of this revered site.
Call for a No-Fly Zone
On Saturday, Naidu appealed to the Civil Aviation Minister, K Ram Mohan Naidu, for urgent intervention to designate Tirumala as a no-fly zone. He emphasized that such a measure is crucial to uphold the principles of Agama Shastra (sacred texts), the sanctity of the temple, and the safety and sentiments of the numerous devotees who visit the site.
Preserving Cultural and Spiritual Heritage
“Low-flying planes, helicopters, and other aerial activities on the Tirumala hill are disturbing the sacred atmosphere around the Srivari temple,” Naidu expressed, highlighting the need for protective measures. He further urged the Union Minister to take appropriate action to safeguard the cultural and spiritual heritage of Tirumala.
The Role of TTD
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) serves as the custodian of the famous Lord Venkateswara Temple, which attracts millions of pilgrims each year. Ensuring that the sacred environment is preserved is paramount not just for the temple’s heritage but also for the spiritual experience of devotees.
As discussions continue regarding the future of aerial activities in the region, it is essential for both authorities and the community to come together to protect the sanctity of this holy site.
