There is no religious basis/and need not be any for forbidding taking pictures. Restriction is probably for a nonreligious reason. For many, that is the only way to see the deity.

Dear Ramanuja Dasargal Of late photos taken inside Moolasthanam of important 'tirupathies' are publised in the websites. When the utsavar is taken out for Thiruther, theppam etc, it may be acceptable to take photos. Certainly it should be prohibited inside the Moolasthanams. Even we cannot get photos of Srirangam, Tirupathy Srinivasar, Kunaseelam Perumal - only drawings are available. I leave this issue for discussion of Sri Vaishnavas and scholars. Even I do not like to print photos of Perumal and thayar in the wedding invitations. What happens after the function? Even to destroy it or throw outside I feel restless. Some people may argue that this facility was not available those days. Now we have gas connection - are we using this in Thirumadapallies? In Srirangam, when Lord Ranganathar is taken out, only 'Teevatties' are taken and not petomox lamps. My intention is not to hurt anyone kaingaryam. Adiyen, Govindarajan Yahoo!
