Treasures at Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple
After some time , I am after a small bang with my blog .I am here with my next post with a public happening , everything below are solely my own opinion ,no bad ideas ,just read the disclaimer at the very bottom of my webpage after reading this . . .
This is about a temple in Southern kerala , the Sri Padmanabhaswamy
temple which is one of the most famous Lord Vishnu Temples in South India which was built in the 16th century by the rulers of Travancore area .
You all are familiar with this , especially south Indians . Precious stones , kilograms of pure jewellery ,vigrahas , gold and silver estimated to be worth of thousands of crores have been found in the secret underground vaults of sri padmanabhaswami temple in southern India , A seven-member team appointed by the court including retired judges is still conducting an inventory of the vaults.The stock-taking process was ordered by the Supreme Court following a petition filed by an advocate T.P. Sundararajan over mismanagement of the temple affairs adding that the present people in charge are incapable of managing the assets of the temple . The temple has around 6 underground chambers named A , B , C , D , E , F . The first day's evaluation revealed treasures worth around 20000 crore as estimated by the team . On second day it came around 50000+ crores and still it's going on .
"Treasures included very old gold chains, diamonds and precious stones which cannot be valued in terms of money," says Malayala Manorama,
The treasure contains ‘Kashi necklaces’ worth several crores, believed to be worn by kings of Travancore.Crowns, jewels and precious stones were also listed.The seven-member committee, aided by Fire Force, Rescue Force and PWD officials, entered the underground chamber, armed with oxygen masks.Three sets of crowns and an idol of Padmanabha Swamy have been listed.A large collection of ‘Saratpoli mala’, numbering 1,000,was also found. They are studded with gems called ‘aval’. Nearly a tonne of ‘aval’ was found.One of these chains was reportedly 18-foot long.‘Swarna dhandu’ in huge numbers and ‘pathakam’ have also been listed in this chamber.The chamber was feared to be filled with poisonous fumes due to which it was oxygenated first. The members who entered the chamber were provided with oxygen masks.
The committee has already opened the ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘F’ chambers while the ‘E’ chamber could not be opened on Wednesday, as it required the presence of the ‘nambi’. This chamber and chamber ‘B’ on Today. The whole exercise began on Monday with the committee members opening the ‘C’ chamber which contained gold items, including golden umbrellas, pots,‘varps’ and silver pots. On Tuesday, the ‘D’ and ‘F’ chambers were opened.Precious stone-studded thrones and crowns have been found among the innumerable valuables stacked in these chambers. On Wednesday, the committee opened the ‘A’ chamber — which had not been opened for centuries — for a few minutes and decided to seek the help of Fire and Rescue Services personnel and Health Department officials to ward off any untoward incidents.
But ,on the basis of what they are estimating it's value ??????
The revealed items consist of necklaces ,gold coins ,precious & rare diamonds , golden vessels , golden crown , statues made of gold , golden emblems and all of them are antiques !!!! & how did they estimate the value of them all on a sudden ?
Experts say that when all the chambers are opened , the overall value of the treasures will cross the assets of the Thirupati Sri balaji temple. The Chief Minister of kerala Mr.Oommen Chandy ordered for a strong security force for this famous temple. The temple is under tight security and monitoring under the police force and it is expected that central forces will be called on for expanding security .
And above all ,the curiosity lies in ,what is going to be done with this treasure ? ? ?
According to the the present progression ,it seems that ,the original value of the treasure may cross the overall income of the state .The estimation is going on still and when it is completed , next comes " what is next ? " The vaults are believed to be opened before around 150 years ,and it was very hard to be accessed . The Known legends say that the kings of travancore kingdom sealed these immense tresures in nilavaras ( meaning vault in malayalam ) for future ,may be on the proverb in malayalam " sambattu kaalatt thai pattu vachal aapatt kaalat kapattu tinnam " , meaning if we save when we are wealthy ,we can use it when we are in lackage & now it is in our hands .
Anyway ,as the world says Indians are always intelligent and maestros in engineering ,then and everytime .The construction of the 'nilavaras' depict that . It was very difficult to break into some of the vaults even though it was very old on the make .The kings also kept so much barriers in some of the vaults . Who then thought it will get to the hands of the right people atlast ? ?
Let's see in the coming days ,what is going to be done with this when everything is revealed and the real value is estimated .
