Why it ranks here

Chronic pollution. Its typical day over the past year was 36.3 µg/m³, 2.4× the WHO 24-hour guideline, so it ranks high most of the time, not only during events.
Seasonal. Over the past year its worst months were January, averaging up to 65.5 µg/m³ against 29.8 in its cleanest month. Seasonal peaks usually come from heating, crop burning, fire or dust seasons.

Based on Tirupati's own measurements; causes are the usual kinds for a pattern like this, not a confirmed source.
