More than 20, 000 Crore treasure including gold, diamonds and other precious stones were found in the underground chambers of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram as of 1st July 2011. Since the last few days the 7 member team appointed by Supreme Court has been taking details of the stock at this ancient Lord Vishnu Temple in Trivandrum, Kerala.
There are as many as six secret chambers in the temple, and one of the chambers is believed to have been not opened for the last 100+ years. The first 4 chambers of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple showed a real treasure trove which included antique gold ornaments, golden vessels, antique jewellery and precious stones including Belgium diamond worth hundreds of crores of rupees. The inventory list include diamond-studded bracelets, golden crown, golden bow and even an 18 ft long golden chain which is believed to have been used to decorate the idol on Sree Anantha Padmanabhaswamy.
It is reported that only 30% of the inventorying of Chamber A was completed yet and hence we can expect a much larger value of treasure details tomorrow.
Sree Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Saranam!

it is the money of poors from Kerala looted by Maharajas in the olden age... Should be used to eliminate the poverty from Kerala..
ReplyDeleteDo you have any evidence that it is the money of poors from Kerala? And how come "POORS" have that much money?? lol
ReplyDeleteIf you dont have any evidence dont speak rubbish my anonymous friend!!
suresh krishnan..
ReplyDeleteIt is the wealth of nation earned by the efforts of its own people.
There are numerous temples and other religious places in India, having more crores of money than this much. For instance see the wealth of Sai Trust. They are keeping it there one. So why come people are more bothered about the treasure found in Sri Padmanabha Swami Temple. The funds / money found in there should be placed in the temple itself.

Sree Padmanabha Swamy was fed up seeing many of His Own Children from Kerala bearing hardships for job in Abroad. And He wants to show up the world that How much rich their state is. Now they can come back to live happily in their own birth land. Let the State and Central Govt.Open their eye to call them back and use the treasure to make better living for every one.
ReplyDeleteGuys its not the time for arguement and fighting. Give our extreme support to Travancore royal family and temple, else our forfathers rich wealth will go to public and you know where it will reach.See how much sincer Royal family were, they never tried to shift the wealth from temple.Really loyal to sreebadbhanabhan.Even though they are not in power they deserve our support. Its not only about hinduism.Protect our culture\coustom and heritage. Its no doubt temples are the center for Indian heritage and if we fail to protect, thats the end our rich heritages\history. If this was found in a church\Mosque will they allow? I was searched in net where I show my support on this but I didnt find anywhere. Wake up guys....I am not a Hindu still I am feeling bad.
ReplyDeleteIt us because of Maharajas that the treasure is saved safely. If it goes to the present government this will be saved safely by our ministers in the foreign banks !
ReplyDeletecoyambedu
Of course, I completely agree with Mr. Cyril.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that the we need to support the Travancore Royal Family and Sri Ananthapandmanbahaswamy Temple. The Royal Family could have easily shift the wealth years back as their private property. However they are truly loyal to Sree Padmanabha Swamy as they themself believe that they are Padmanabha Dasa, meaning "servants of the Lord Padmanabha".
The treasure should remain in the temple and use it as a cultural heritage showing the rich history of Travancore.

This is the hard labor of ancestors lived in old Trivancore... Levy paid by the public…Trivancore people are the real owners…. Any single organization claiming their ownership is biased… Old Trivancore include few parts from T.N.. Can do some charity works by NGO. Royal family can play important roll..
ReplyDeletegave this money for hajj people and malayattor visitors and charge ayyappa devotees 1000RS/ per head entry fee to sabarimala
ReplyDeleteThis money should not go out of Temple and from the control of Royal family. "Pithruka swathukal vittu puttu adikan ullathalla" I do agree its travancore peoples money, but think what other Royal families did before joining to Indian union. Royal family protected the wealth for these many years still they have the every right to guard, ofcource now more tight security is required. I am feeling pity towards the person who filled the case, I dont know his real motive.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder, how much wealth did the British, Dutch and Portugese looted from India. No wonder the first two are not affected by the European crisis.

ReplyDeleteIt is very proud to hear the day to day treasures found in the secret rooms of sri padmanabha temple.As a indian i was worried that the costliest kohinoor diamond was misssing from very long years.but now iam very proud to have most prestigeous and costly statues and other ornaments found in the temple.now iam happy that our nation will always stand apart from other county for these type of costly diamonds,statues,and ornaments .jaihind.
$10 billion is the present net values of the asset, archaeological value will be immense, probably more than $25 billion.
ReplyDeleteHi dear all,
ReplyDeleteI am an INDIAN,I am Proud of my Country,When they rule the Country they kept all the things safely.Now who Is ruling (any party) there amount they kept Swiss Bank.I feel if travancore family rule I will support my best.(Nice Example Dubai)All Criminals were protected by their own partys.
I am not blaiming any one i feel from my own hert.
No developement No Employment Middle class people are struglling too much.
Hello Guys...Who is reading this comments...
ReplyDeleteAll of you note we are very happy also very sad to hear this that the founded treasure will now go to all the ministers pockets and all corrupted govt officials and will fill up their Swiss bank and the poverty will not go from our India.. poor will be more poor and rich will be more richest ever.
My suggestion is that if this treasure if used for an well being of the country should be handed over to an committee like Anna Hazzare who is fighting against corruption in the country, as of now a common man is unable to get their 2 times food (Dal , Rice & Chapati) should be used for reducing poverty from India...
Let us pray to the concerned to utilize the amount wisely as other religions are doing such as starting medical colleges, hospitals etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteHey iam Ashley from trivandrum .
ReplyDeleteMany are telling that the treasures found there in temple are stolen from the poors (their hard work). Some are teling it is temple property and others are tellint that it is palace' property.
OK. NO PROBLEM.
My desire for the found treasure or this wealth is .
1. Dont bring any political leaders inside this issue.
2. Dont waste the treasure by fighting each other about it's ownership.
3. Keep every treasure or (Wealth) there itself then dont change the place.
4. Once the valuation is over then let the government make a particular place for keeping all these treasure or wealth.So that it can be a place for all the people to visit and view our old kings collections. At the same time the temple people can use the gold or ornaments from this collection which they are regularly ussing for decorating their gods.
By doing this i belive the income of our state will increase and if political leaders want to steal then let them steal the income which is raised out of this treasure or(wealth) and not the wealth or treasure.
I am also very much intrested to see this collection but i will wait patiently.
REMEMBER ONE THING THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY EVERY THING . SO PLZ PRESERVE THIS COLLECTIONS. PLEASE.
my dear frnds,this is the appotunity to take that cash from temple,and give loans to poor people,provide education,and many things can be done to remove poverty from our country,what god will do with this money,i beleieve that god not need gol or cash he needs true human beings or bhakts,pls just rectify how this came to know about khazana,bcos god itself giving poor to take and utilise,like wise pls dont waste your precious money by giving money to temples or pujaris,instead give alms to poor,awake you hindu,awake
ReplyDeletewhy peoples are valuating this types of treasuries this is our heritage. please dont change any thing from there and make a museum because money could earn shortly but cant history or heritage. please dont valuate it.
ReplyDeleteI am homeless already 8 years in and of course I am sorry that I will not get anything from that wealth:( But life is like that, some people are lucky & some people are not lucky. I don't believe in politicians or national fund for feeding of poor, they will steal money how much they can, so many organizations help to poor but poor still stay poor and directors of such organizations become rich. If gold is found in the temple, it should belong to owner of temple. I don't like so much riches and royal families anywhere in the world, as I know riches are rich because they care only about themselves, they watch poor people as something lower worth, but in any case I think that gold belong to the temple and its owners because temple got this gold during the time from believers/people. It is their free will that they left/gave it to the temple. But there is so much gold that even judges became dirty and mix themselves and what to say about politicians who are worst than judges...
ReplyDeleteThis ia an opportunity to exhibit the mastery of administration....Speaking in the language of economics, this is a god-given opportunity to Kerala which is the most developed Indian State but lags in growth, to become a super power... Our brothers and sisters are staying abroad, fighting against all odds, leaving their dear ones aside here...I wish the government could perform in such a manner which would attract investments to open employment hubs in the God's own country... I sincerely cannot agree with preserving money as antique objects when the masses are fighting to meet the ends... Lets hope for the best
ReplyDeleteTreasures should be kept with the royal family only who has not taken any thing knowing about the treasure when no one knew about it ,we still have close relations of mod.ghanze and black skinned Britishers who has and are looting our mother land.
ReplyDeleteSHALIWAHAN VATS JAMNIA.TRAVANCORE KING, EFFORT,BRAIN,LOYALTY,RESPECT AND LOVE 4 NATION,HIS KINGDOM,HAS SAVED THE GREAT TREASURES.NOW ITS OPEN,WE INDIANS SHOULD FEEL PROUD,THAT THIS TREASURE IS NOT IN SWISS BANK,KING DIDNT BETRAY THE NATION,LIKE R JOKERS DID BY DOING CORRUPTION,AND SMUGGLED THE MONEY TO SWISS BANK.SECOND KEEPING R GOLD OUT,TOOK LOAN, GARBED MONEY IN NAME OF WELFARE,AND SMUGGLED IT TO SWISS BANK,BUT POOR MAHARAJS SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE PAYED.NOW ITS WE PUBLIC WHO SHOULD REWARD THE KING.SREE PADMANABHASWAMY WILL NOT PASS THE JUDGEMENT IT WILL THE PRESENT SWAMI THE SUPREME COURT WILL THE THE FAITH OF GOD AND KING.
ReplyDeleteAll,
ReplyDeleteThe treasure usage should be used for construction of 4 twin cities and celestial temples as believed earlier in all 4 states viz Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra. No part of treasure should be used for public development under the context of poverty & prostitutions elimination or employment & education improvement.
The solution to above problem or issues are responsibilities of the ruling and supporting governments personal.
The funds should not be handed over to the public as public property, rather it is lord’s money, hence opening private bank under name of “Sri Venketeshwara” and ensuring all the funds are secured and transaction are maintained on funds flow to public or other social organization on low interest basis, this is required for temple support and to promote Vedas and technologies related to Vedas.
As it is belief and fact, that Vault-B opens to underground area where Krishna Stream is flowing around reaching Rameshwaram, it is said the stream is connected by other rivers or smaller streams originating from Andhrapradesh. Also some information have been flowing around that the underground area is rich in herbs and minerals where the 5 hooded snakes found in abundant housing at Vault-B feeds on them. It is said that these 5 hooded snakes are family members of Anantha and they guard the treasures.
It is also fact and known information, any movement of treasure from its place and usage of it apart from the intent purpose would lead to floods across the world creating greater disasters. Also, it is possible that underground path contains more riches than what has been found so for in the vaults.
Please also consult Drum beaters (Uduku for Utharavu) on usage of funds practiced in almost most of temples in south India, especially in Amman temples apart from ongoing practice of deva-prasanams.
