SC upholds Travancore royal family’s right over the world’s richest Padmanabhaswamy temple, including the mysterious Vault B.
Smitha N | DC Online | Kochi | July 13, 2021:: The royal family of Travancore on Monday won a nine-year legal battle in the Supreme Court for control of the richest temple in the world, the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
India’s top court upheld the administrative rights of the erstwhile Travancore royal family over the temple, and asked the temporary administrative committee headed by a district judge to continue until a new governing panel with representatives of the state government and the royal family is constituted.
According to the apex court, though the temple will remain a public place of worship, the right of the royal family in its governance cannot be denied.
The Supreme Court bench, consisting of Justice U.U. Lalit and Justice Indu Malhotra, quashed a Kerala High Court order of January 31, 2011 which asked the Kerala government to take over and manage the temple.
The Kerala High Court had ruled that since the last ruling Maharajah of the princely state of Travancore, Sree Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, died in 1991, the royal family’s rights over the temple ceased.
However, the SC observed that death of the last ruler would not affect the royal family’s rights over the temple.
A member of the royal family, Uthradam Thirunal Marthanda Varma challenged the High Court order in the Supreme Court and obtained an interim stay of the High Court verdict in May 2011.
Mystery of Vault B
The ancient Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple hit the headlines in 2011 when a Supreme Court appointed panel took an inventory of the enormous stock of valuables like diamonds, thrones, several sacks of gold coins, gemstones and gold ornaments kept in five secret vaults near the sanctum sanctorum.g
The court appointed amicus curiae Gopal Subrahmaniam and former comptroller and auditor General Vinod Rai audited the temple assets and submitted a report to the apex court.
Massive treasures, believed to have been offered to the deity over several hundred years during the rule of the Travancore royal family were unearthed from the five vaults. The valuables are worth several trillion rupees, considering its historical value, and the temple shot to fame as the wealthiest temple on earth.
However, one of the secret chambers, Vault B was not opened as the royal family and devotees were against opening the mysterious chamber saying that it has a mystical energy and its opening would invite unexpected disasters.
But Vinod Rai in his report informed the apex court that Vault B had been opened many times since 1990 and no disasters or untoward incidents happened. As per the audit report submitted by Vinod Rai, valuables worth several crores are missing from the temple.
Later, in July 2011, the apex court kept the opening of Vault B in abeyance till further orders.
Even in today’s order, the apex court has not made any specific remarks on the opening of Vault B and the matter has been left for the administrative committee’s decision.
Royal family welcomes verdict
Members of the Travancore royal family expressed happiness over the verdict upholding their administrative rights over the temple. Aswathi Thirunal Gowri Lakshmibhai said the family wishes to express sincere gratitude to those who supported and prayed, reports regional media.
Meanwhile, the state government has also made it clear that it will abide by the SC order and won’t appeal against it.

Struggle for Hindu Existence 
A good day for Hindus. Their wealth can’t be taken by the enemy of
Hindus. Bharat must be cleaned up from all foreign influence. Hindus
don’t need them. Ram Rajya is needed in Bharat. This is a message
of Sri Hanuman Seva Sena.

Me: Beautiful.
ps:
Although in severe shock and great stress, we have faced the challenges and moved forward crossing the barriers, biases, impediments etc that came before us, … it was tough, not easy, for my wife and sons and the others also … I brought up my two sons Kaviraj and Shilpi as future presidents of usa, with that attitude/ outlook/ mindset, supporting and encouraging the leadership nature already in them. They are born in usa, grew up in usa and consider themselves as Americans. The country, the people and the whole world including India where we parents are originally from will need their leadership and contributions to go forward towards better future vision in true spirit of America. It is the nature of truth, nature of nature, nature of humanity. It is the only way. There is no other choice. Actually, we do not need a different choice. Because, it is also the best way. Perfect for America and the whole world. Nothing else can be better, however you may look at it. Best wishes. Aummmm….we are seeking suitable brides for our two sons… any help, efforts etc much appreciatedThe world is dramastage weare actors Our life is what we do OUR ACT, our daily living is our daily acting role, acting finished means life finished. WE ARE SEEKING SUITABLE BRIDES FOR OUR TWO SONS, OUR GOAL IS TO ENABLE THEM REACH FULL TRUE HIGHER POTENTIAL, FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF USA. I was fired from AT&T Bell Labs in 1992 scientist engineer, it was big shock for whole family, in India too. interviews for new jobs blocked. although in shock wife worked from low level hard work later promoted, children targeted.

Me: Ravi, my assessment/ guesses below =
King of the East = Japan,
King of the North = Norway,
King of the South = Saudi Arabia,
King of the West = United Kingdom,
Others are being used and/ or helping them directly and/ or indirectly, along with their interests and ideologies, China also included. Nature of the Deep state is involved in various strong ways, including the nature of the different religions and their associated deep states, some extremely very strong… for many others, individuals also, it is just survival under whatever conditions exist for them…

actually, hindus need to reclaim all the temples that were destroyed, forcibly taken over,
(not just the three that BJP / RSS wanted, mostly for political reasons, vote-banking, otherwise they did not care initially)
and all the other indians, including muslims, have to understand and accept that.
it is not their (muslim’s) private property anyway, so they should not worry / have hatred towards hindus in india
(any allowance of alternate land, is out of sympathetic considerations only)..
you are forgetting the power of hindu temples, for inspiration etc, when you write like below, that it is less important.
i disagree.
in fact, everything depends on it (the recovery of the temples), we might say

WE ARE SEEKING SUITABLE BRIDES FOR OUR TWO SONS KAVIRAJ AND SHILPI, FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF USA. THE WORLD IS A DRAMA STAGE AND WE ARE ACTORS. IN THE FUTURE, THE LEADERSHIP AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR SONS WILL BE NEEDED BY USA AND ITS PEOPLE, ALSO BY THE WHOLE WORLD, THAT IS EAST-WEST-NORTH-SOUTH … I WAS FIRED FROM AT&T BELL LABS IN NEW JERSEY IN 1992.. IT WAS BIG SHOCK TO US, WIFE & CHILDREN, ALSO FAMILY ON BOTH MY SIDE AND WIFE’S SIDE, INCLUDING IN INDIA, SINCE EVERYBODY EXPECTED ME TO GO HIGHER UP IN JOB. I WAS NOT EVEN GETTING INTERVIEWS FOR OTHER JOBS. LATER GOT A FEW SMALLER JOBS. MY WIFE WORKED, FROM LOW LEVEL, HARD WORK, LATER PROMOTED. FORCES BEHIND THE SCENES TRYING TO PULL US DOWN. CONNECTED WITH THE EVIL PARTS OF THE GLOBAL POWER STRUCTURE. OUR SONS WERE ALSO TARGETED AND HAD TO FACE CHALLENGES. WE HAVE FACED THEM POSITIVELY AND MOVED FORWARD. THEY ARE WORKING NOW. BOY AND GIRL HAVE TO LIKE EACH OTHER ETC THEN WE BLESS. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. BEST WISHES AUMMM…
