Imagine what the greedy British would have done with it if they had found it? (Answer: The British would have rape, pilage and plunder it. They probably are knocking their heads on the walls behind closed doors.) Guess the Mughals would have done the same. But as human, WE tend to get greedy by shiny, worthless objects. Hope the find does not bring about greed and that the treasure remains with the temple.

Words such as "wealth," "treasure," "antiques," etc. in this context are misnomers. These objects are articles that devotees of the Temple Deity have donated out of their free will through the centuries. They should be seen as "Danam," or donations and should be kept in the Deity's precincts. They are not meant for museum exhibitions or distribution to claimants. They are not property and therefore are not covered by secular law. They should be classified as "Vazhipaad"--gifts to a Deity.

The word "treasure" or the phrase"temple treasure" is a misnomer. It should be called "collection of offerings to the Deity." The act is Daanam or sacred giving. No religion in the world permits the act of taking back something that was given out as a gift o a donation or an offering. That is the central ethical and legal point. Unfortunately, secular law does not seem to "get" it.

can you even imagin how much wealth muslims and christians systematically have stolen in india for centuries., thank god this was hidden at the temple, otherwise it would have been stolen looted and plundered like all of India by the worshippers of the satanic gods of poverty ...allah and christ .there is a reason why modern history starts with the discovery of the wealth of india..... as it was this wealth that financed european and islamic pseudo devellopment.

@rabin46 Don't associate Christ with these "riches" and other "worldly" items. Christ and actual CHRISTIANS are not of this world, we don't care for your "riches" and "treasures", for us...all of it is cursed and we have no need for it, our riches and treasure are in Jesus, who brings us peace and the real reward of eternal life, not these worldy items!! Next time, think before you post, don't generalize! You all can keep your billions in treasure.
