Treasure belongs to Kerala's Padmanabha Swami Temple: Chandy

Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy on Sunday said that the treasure trove unearthed at Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple belongs to the temple and it would be protected within the shrine itself.The state government has also deployed hundreds of armed police around the temple and metal detectors were set up at the entrance after the first reports of the treasure came out. Rough estimate of the value of the treasure so far unearthed is around Rs 1,00,000 crore. The figure is almost double the wealth of the Tirupati temple.The actual valuation could be much more if the antique value of the articles is taken into account and could well be enough to wipe out the country's fiscal deficit.
