Fact Check: Video Of Kanyaka Parameswari Temple Decorated With Notes Viral As Tirupati Balaji Temple

Date:

The video of a temple, decorated with currency notes, is being shared on social media with a claim that it’s of Tirupati Balaji Temple in Andhra Pradesh.

Facebook users are sharing the video with the caption: “तिरुपति बालाजी मंदिर आंध्र प्रदेश में फूलों की जगह भारतीय नोटों से हुई सजावट की अनोखी कारीगरी की झलक.” (English translation: A glimpse of  unique decoration with Indian notes instead of flowers in Tirupati Balaji temple of Andhra Pradesh)

Here’s the link to the above post.

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be misleading.

We ran a keyword search on YouTube and found a similar video, uploaded on October 11, 2021, with the title: “Sri Kanyaka Parameswari temple decorated with currency notes| Nellore | Dussehra 2021 | SumanTv.”

Similar videos were uploaded by other channels on YouTube in October 2021. The videos can be seen here and here.

We also traced multiple reports (in October 2021) about the Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari temple, Nellore district, having been decked out with currency notes worth ₹5.16 crore.

According to another report by The New Indian Express, ‘as part of the ongoing Dussehra celebrations, the Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari temple committee on Monday, October 1, 2021, decorated the deity with currency notes worth ₹5.16 crore’.

The same was also covered by Telangana Today and ABP News.

Hence, it is clear that the video is NOT of Tirupati Balaji Temple.
