Amid claims and counter claims on the place of birth of Lord Hanuman, the Pundit Committee constituted by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has unequivocally stated Tirumala as his birthplace. National Sanskrit University (NSU) Vice-Chancellor V. Muralidhara Sharma, who heads the Pundit Parishat, refuted the claims made by Sri Govindananda Saraswati Swami, founder of Sri Hanumad Janmabhoomi Theertha Kshetra Trust, Hampi, that Anjaneya was born at Anjanahalli on the banks of river Pampa near Hampi in Karnataka. Dr. Sharma said the swamiji could not prove his point beyond doubt with solid evidence, while the parishat had cited Puranas and epical evidences to buttress its claim.
