Rare video footage recorded by the Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam 50 years ago as a promotional video for the Tirupati Balaji temple. You can see the abhishekam of the moola vigraha without ornamentation, followed by the deity in full gold and diamond dress. This is the only authentic video of Tirupati Balaji ever recorded. This footage was shown on a Telugu news channel. The reporter gives a 30 second introduction before the footage begins.

i do not know how far it is right to photograph or shoot images of gods but what i have heard is that the chaitanya of god is reduced if you take photo shoots

Video and photography has existed for just 100 years. Our scriptures obviously do not prohibit it or even speak of it since it never existed. People who think it is forbidden to film a deity are just superstitious. And that superstition has only existed in the last 100 years. At the time when photographs first were invented, it must have seem mystical to be able to take someones photo. An uneducated villager would conclude it was some type of black magic or some mystical connection. But with full scientific understanding of how photography works we shouldn't be holding on to such superstitious beliefs. Our scriptures speak nothing about it, on the other hand deities images have been drawn and painted for thousands of years!
