Tirumala heritage structure demolition

[Guest guest]

Dear Sir,

 

Why the archaeology department of the Government of India is not coming

forward to say anything, regarding the demolition of 600 plus year old

'1000 pillared mantapam' and other heritage structures ? Whether the

protection of such centuries old structures are left to the public ? If

TTD is the custodian of their own structures, can they do what ever

they want with them like removing or replacing. Just if TTD says that

it is to make way for bigger constructions or if it says that the

mantapam is not presently being used for vedic rituals then can they

remove structures of heritage ?. On that lines can Charminar and Taj

Mahal which are not presently being used for any religious purposes can

be removed to make way for making

other big projects for public welfare ? When the Government of India

is spending crores of rupees on the departments of Archives,

Archaeology etc, why then the common man is asked to defend for

himself for protecting the heritage buildings like that on Tirumala ?

If the departments of the Government of India cannot protect such

heritage buildings, then it is better to assign the same to

International Organizations like UNESCO. Even the media is simply taking

one sided approach without verifiying facts and publishing nonsense

views of immature people who still are favouring such demolitions

either on flimsy grounds or by levelling baseless accusations against

people like His Holiness Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar

Swamiji who had to trouble himself in defending the presence of

our invaluable heritage structures instead of concentrating on his

massive touring and educating people on the importance of our holy

vedic scriptures like Srimadramayana, Srimadbhagawadgita, Upanishad etc.
