Tirumala was rocked by fresh controversy after officials identified and acted on a vehicle flaunting a non-Hindu religious sticker right on pilgrimage grounds. With rules strictly banning religious promotion of any kind that isn't Hindu, the sight of the vehicle sent shockwaves through devotees and authorities alike. Vigilant teams moved into action almost immediately after a staffer missed the sticker at the checkpoint, tracking down the car near the Fire Office and removing the symbol before filing a police complaint. Both the driver from Tamil Nadu and the car’s owner are now in hot water under local laws designed to preserve Tirumala’s sacred reputation. TTD wasn’t just content with police action—they’ve removed the negligent staffer from his post and launched internal proceedings to make sure mistakes like this don’t happen again. As debates flare up about how strictly these bans can be enforced, officials say there’s zero room for religious crossovers on one of the world’s most iconic Hindu pilgrimage hills.
