Is the idol in the Tirupati Temple actually the idol of a Jain God?
That's really interesting. Are there any other temples in India that are believed to have been built on top of older religious sites?
Yes, there are many temples in India that have been built on top of older religious sites, particularly in areas where there has been a long history of religious diversity and coexistence. For example, the Kandariya Mahadeva temple in Khajuraho is believed to have been built on top of a Buddhist shrine, and the Konark Sun Temple in Orissa is believed to have been a site of worship for both Hindus and Buddhists in ancient times.
