Last year, Padmanabhaswamy temple(TVM) was declared to be the most wealthy temple of India. Its hidden treasure total costs more than 1lakh crore rupees. Whole assets once belong to Maharaja of Travancore, which the family gave to the temple years before. Should it be given to poor or place it in archeological museum or place it in temple itself under tight security?

I think that's going to please Lord Padmanabhaswamy - the greatest!
There are many poor people in our Country. If that money is going to support the poor people and the needy ones,then it would be huge help.
I have observed from very close quarters in my childhood which was spent in a pilgrim city that the poor people contribute most to the Godly coffers and it's their money!!!
The trusty of the temple should understand,that if he helps the poor people from that assets than it would huge noble work.
The people who run these trust won't understand - they have to be made to understand!
The money is huge. This money can change the economy of any country. Government should make them understand,that some part should be donate and a huge part of money should be used for the poor people.
I don't think the government has either any such intention and quite a few of them are under the influence so-called 'babas'!!
If government interferes, most of the treasure will be going into politician's pockets. After all it is our own country.
That's right given to the frightening records of lack of probity of our political leaders!
Full money was really owned by Maharajas of Travancore and they gave all to the temple, starting from early centuries and declare themselves as Padmanabha dasa and surrounded their kingdom to Lord Vishnu.Where can we find such kings. At the time of state formation and abolishing of kingdoms, though the Royal family is a member of trustie, they didn't take even a coin from it, even after knowing that they are loosing the Kingdom. Chitra tirunal Maharaja was the king at that time.
Nowadays crowd has increased in the temple and additional forces are introduced. Since it is in the heart of capital city, it causes traffic blocks
If the money gets shared with the poor people then there Will be no poor people in our country...
Nitish kumar Of Bihar sets an example by doing schools in rural area after recovering black money.This is a supportable instance.
The asset obtained from the temple are precious stones, gold, diamond, crowns etc.....have archeological value since they were used by kings centuries back, some from East India Company and from other countries also, which our century people have never seen. Then should they be sold to help the poor when such precious monuments, possessions etc of Rajahs are kept in Museums since they are considered as Country's assets? :unsure:
As they are considered as countries assets so they should be included in museum.


since they are considered as (Country's )assets?
@Sandhye Rani It is countries not country's
If the decision for the money to be distributed to the poor be given, then the poor will not even have a whiff of that money!

Considering the political status going on in the country and that too from a Communist state like that of Kerala, the chances stand are just nil.

In view of corruption, people do not get the benefit due to them. The politicians and bureaucrats get some share.

However, Kerala is not a communist state. Presently, Congress alliance rules. Even when communists rule, they do so within framework of Indian constitution only and not according to Marxism Leninism. So even under rule of Communists, any state can not be described as communist.

I agree with you, what you have said is only shared because it is in document.

Since that i am already from kerala, I have not seen any democratic rule. If there is a bandh, it will be observed very strictly and there will be another bandh for the previous bandh

Such is the state of Kerala

Safe lockers in the temple are more strong than even India's most secure lockers. They were made centuries back. Biggest of the chambers is not opened and counted yet, because its locks were so strong that nobody was able to open it. Now talks going on whether it should be opened or not :huh:
