Tirupati: Tirumala temple authorities have ordered an investigation into a drone video of the temple that has gone viral on social media platforms.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which oversees the affairs of the Sri Venkateswara temple atop Tirumala in Aidhi Pradesh, has taken note of the video posted by a Hyderabad resident.
TTD Chairman Y. S. Subba Reddy said on Saturday that if anyone was found using drones to shoot the video, a criminal case would be filed.
TTD officials have virtually ruled out the possibility of using the drone camera. They suspect that the video was shot with still photography. It is also possible that the video was obtained from Google.
A” Video of Tirumala temple which is making rounds on social media platforms as taken through a Drone camera is baseless. However, it will be sent to the forensic lab for verification,” said Chief Vigilance and Security Officer (CVSO) Narasimha Kishore.
He claims that the entire Tirumala is under the watchful eye of high-tech vigilance and security.
The CVSO also threatened legal action against those who videotaped the Tirumala temple if found guilty.
Flying aircraft or drones over the hill shrine is prohibited by Agama Shastra rules.
The temple, the world’s richest Hindu shrine, reported an astonishing set of wealth in November last year, consisting of 10.3 tonnes of gold deposits in nationalized banks and a cash deposit of Rs15,938 crores ($1.94 billion). The total value of temple assets is estimated to be Rs2.26 lakh crore ($27.56 billion).
