 Since independence from Britain, the temple
has been controlled by a trust run by the
descendants of the Travancore royal family.

merged with the princely state of Cochin,
which eventually became the present-day
state of Kerala.

 The underground chambers at the Sree
Padmanabhaswamy Temple complex in
Kerela have been a safe haven for priceless
jewels for decades. An estimated value of
the gems and jewellery found is at Rs 1 lakh
crore.

7. Travancore was dedicated to Sree
Padmanabhaswamy in 1750
 In 3rd January 1750, Maharajah Marthanda
Varma dedicated the kingdom of Travancore
to Lord Padmanabha. Marthanda Varma
vowed that the royal family will rule the state
on behalf of Lord and he and his descendants
would "serve" the kingdom as Padmanabha
Dasa or the Servant of Lord Padmanabha.

Valued
 According to reliable sources,
the original value of the
inventories found in Chamber
A alone may exceed worth Rs.
50, 000 Crore. Officials are yet
to open chamber B and it is
believed that the total assets
of Lord Sree
Padmanabhaswamy Temple in
Thiruvananthapuram will
surely exceed the assets of the
world famous Tirupati Balaji
Temple in Andhra Pradesh

10. Golden Coconut Shells
 Another interesting finding was two
coconut shells made of pure gold. One of
this golden coconut shell was students
with rare antique stones including
emeralds and rubies.

11. Associated Press Report
 Inside the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple,
investigators were counting the staggering
hoard of gold coins and statues of gods and
goddesses studded with diamonds and other
precious stones. Outside, small groups of
armed policemen patrolled the temple
grounds in the heart of the Kerala state
capital, Trivandrum.

12. India temple inspectors halt treasure hunt
By Ashraf Padanna Trivandrum
 Inspectors unearthing priceless treasures
from a south Indian temple have had to
halt their search because they cannot
open the final vault.
 Five vaults full of precious stones, gold
and silver have already been opened in
Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple in
Kerala state.

13. Concealed riches
 Meanwhile, security has been stepped up at
the temple but police have refused to divulge
exact details because they say it would make
the treasure more "vulnerable".

14. Treasure belongs to
Kerala temple: BJP

15. BBC explains a bit better
 The Supreme Court stayed a ruling by the high
court in Kerala, which ordered the state
government to take over the temple and its
assets from the royal trust. It also ordered the
trust to hand over responsibility for the temple's
security to the police.

16. Kerala Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple's
Vault B shouldn't be opened, Supreme
Court told
 NEW DELHI: The Supreme
Court was Friday told by
Travancore's erstwhile royal
family that the Sree
Padmanabhaswamy temple's
Vault B should not be opened
and the treasures unearthed
earlier not videographed or
photographed as it was
against the temple traditions
and practices.

17. Godrej offers security for
Padmanabhaswamy temple
 KOCHI: Godrej Security
Solutions, a division of Godrej
& Boyce, today said it has
offered the Kerala
government a comprehensive
integrated security solution
for the famous
Padmanabhaswamy temple
from where a huge quantity of
treasures were recently
unearthed.
