[edit] Non-Hindus

Does the temple allow non-Hindus (Buddhists, Jains, Christians, Bahai-ians, Islamic persons) enter the temple? Should we or not mention this in the article, and why? --பராசக்தி 07:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

You are right. I shall add a sentence when i update the page over the next weekKalyan 17:37, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tirupathi - Is the name correct?

I have 2 queries - i believe the correct reference to the hill city is Tirumala while the city at the foothills is Tirupati (and not Tirupathi). Can i make these corrections?Kalyan 16:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Tirupati is the correct spelling, see http://tirumala.org/ BalanceRestored 07:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
