Tirupati Thiruvenkatamudayan is a great deity worshiped by Tamils. The Tirupati Thirumala temple has been a place of worship since the 7th century Pallavar period.
The Cholas are involved in the maintenance of the temple
The Tiruvenkatamudayan temple that we see and worship today was completed in the 13th century when the Pandyas ruled Tamil Nadu with great wealth after defeating the Cholas.
Raja Raja Cholan built the great temple of Tanjore by Tamil. Yes, he wrote in Tamil all over the surrounding walls of the temple
Similarly, in the 13th century, the Pandya kings Sadayavarman Sundara Pandyan and Kulasekhara Pandyan built the Tirupati Tiruvenkatamudayan temple entirely in Tamil.
An example of this is the Tamil inscriptions written all over the three round walls in the temple. Tamil inscriptions can be seen inside and outside the second round wall.
After Tamil kings lost power after 13th century, Vijayanagara kings built many buildings inside the temple and managed the temple effectively.
The Pandyas built the complete Tirupati Tiruvenkatamudayan temple with inscriptions in Tamil all over the three circular walls.
There is also a second witness which is the symbol of two fishes painted on the interior of the roof of the flagwood mandapam.
Two fishes are the symbol of the Pandits. On the ceiling of this flagwood mandapam, two fishes are engraved in three ways, which is a surprise and delight.
Similar to this, the symbol of two fishes can be seen on the back wall of Tiruchanur Padmavati Goddess Temple.
The third testimony is the name of the staircase in front of the sanctum sanctorum of the deity Thiruvenkatamudayan, known as Kulasekhara Padi. This is named after Kulasekhara Pandiyan who decorated the temple roof with gold.
It is a fact that Pandyas built Tirupati Tiruvenkatamudayan temple in Tamil.
