The greatness obsession of the TTD is also one of the reasons for this controversy,” said noted writer and historian HS Patil. We suspect TTD is eyeing the money and may want to grab that by making false claims about Hanuman’s birthplace.
The Government has already finalised a plan to develop this place with Rs 200 crore. Lakhs of devotees visit this place every year. Ancient documents to medieval writings have conclusively proved that Hanuman was born at Anjanadri hills in Karnataka. Some even allege that the economic considerations are driving the TTD to appropriate Hanuman as their own. To counter the claims of the TTD, these scholars have decided to release many ancient documents, which prove that Hanuman was indeed born in Karnataka. They claim that they have irrefutable records to prove that Hanuman was born at Anjanadri hills near Hampi and not at Tirupati. The historians, Sanskrit scholars and mythology researchers in Karnataka have sharply reacted to this, terming the findings of the TTD as baseless and motivated. Hanuman was born on Anjanadri in Treta Yuga.” Venkatachalam is also known as Anjanadri and 19 other names.

It stated that they established the fact that Tirumala is the birthplace of Hanuman after four months of intensive research. It has declared Japali Theertham near Akasha Ganga waterfall in Tirumala Hills as the birthplace of Lord Hanuman.
