Tirupati.Murugan,DurgaTemple, Buddhist Monastery?

Whether Tamil is more ancient than Sanskrit,Caste is foisted on the people by the Brahmins, Babri Masjid was not built-in Ram's Birth place, Taj Mahal was not built by Shah Jahan,Aurangzeb is a pious Man and the list is endless in India.

One such controversy is that the Balaji Temple was originally Lord Murga's Temple and it was later converted into a Vishnu Temple.

Tirupati is Murugan Temple.

1.Most common proof is the fact that the ancient Grammar of Tamils, right from Tholkappiyam while defining the characteristics of land masses, assigns Hilly terrains as the Abode of Lord Muruga.9(Thinai Illakkanam).

Land Masses were divided into five categories by the Tamils.

Kurinji-Hilly Terrains,-Deity Lord Muruga

Mullai-Forest-Lord Vishnu.

Marutham- Agricultural Land-Indra

Neydal-Coastal Regions-Lord Varuna.

Palai-Desert-Kotravai(Durga)

I do not find any reason either from the Purnas or Tamil Literature to support the view that it was Muruga's Temple.
