thats 22.5 billion dollar

[MrAbhishek004]

1,000,000,000,000 indian rupees

[vijaydj1993]

this has to be one of the legends about the cities of gold

[Rohit84up]

@vijaydj1993 This just to show how much wealth EAST INDIA COMPANY has stolen from india.

[Madavoori]

wots the purpose of Wealth.....??

[rkrishp99]

do not touch this wealth of the LOrd... if any government idiots touches this we want to touch all the churches and mosques in India and distributed to public.

[allclassics]

Europeans wrote history in the past. Now China, India and new developing countries will write a new world history.Those who control the media will be heard.

[MrPulikottil]

Part 5. So, it’s belongs to all of us (Kerala people-Indian people) and therefore please preserve them in a Museum with high tech & strong security, where we can collect money as entry fee, which can be used to feed few poor Indians without discriminations....

[MrPulikottil]

Part4.The first Kerala elected Government, after independents did not collected or recovered any such big physical valued wealth from King and Raja rules except few lands which was very much visible to everyone and cannot be covered by steel in any temple We express our thanks to the great & honourable Indian judiciary that at least we come to know now, where is our money kept..., Even though many looted by custodians.

[MrPulikottil]

Part3. So, the money collected by king and family in terms of taxes and other Raja-Government payments including coins & other Jewelleries received aginst the spices exported to Europe (Exp.Napolian coins) had been transferred to temple during the period of Second World War and even many years before the independents due to the uncertainty & insecurity. Because, the temple is a worship place, more better safe place than any other locker during the period.

[MrPulikottil]

Part2 And how this king and family got this much gold and other valuable goods? They were rulers; they collect custom and taxes from the people in the form of gold/silver/pearls etc. Among these people not only Hindus, but Christians (2000 Years in India-Kerala) & Muslims (1500 Years in India-Kerala), and even 2000 years before these Christians & Muslims were Hindus.. So, this belongs to Kerala people or you can say even Indian people and not just Hindu people only....

[MrPulikottil]

Part 1

How this temple got this much voluble gold, silver etc including different gold coins even with Napoleon on it? Why it was secretly kept in a temple with extraordinary locks?

This immense wealth was placed and kept by the King and family-rulers (because this perticular temple run by King&family), the king and family of course not Christen or Muslim.

[princegoutham]

Someshwara Temple was Looted by the Muslims and all the Jewels diamonds and rubies were Taken in Six Big Ships Imagine the Wealth of India

The Musilms Invaded india not to spread islam but to loot India if only Spreading islam was their Target they wouldnt have Looted the Temple and carried it to their countries

[tarahSky3]

@princegoutham yes, and the same thing is happening today but in a different form. Now they want to loot our spirituality, because they know that that is India's strength. They want to put excessive security and surveillance measures at temples to disturb the people praying, and even want to start changing the architecture of the temples so people don't have the same experience.

[TheRevathyrr]

this is the family temple of royals who ruled kerala and obviously part of it is tax money.

[FreeFromWar]

WTF is one lakh crore?

Speak english!

[guz9122]

@FreeFromWar WTF?? Google it dumbass

[FreeFromWar]

@guz9122 You don't know do you?

[guz9122]

@FreeFromWar YOU NEITHER DO YOU??!! google is here and its so easy to use..you should definitely try it dude! it works perfectly well..very easy to use..you just type in the keywords in the search bar!!!! and i just found out that 10lakhs=1million....and 100lakhs=1crore...so i guess the rest is easy...BUT..if you ever have trouble with the calculations, google "internet calculator"....that'll show you what you want to see! cheers!

[FreeFromWar]

@guz9122 That's not what I meant. I could use google sure. But if you're an Indian and you don't know it, is sucks for you dude. Thanks anyway.

Peace.

[guz9122]

@FreeFromWar im not indian...and i had to google it myself..im sure any indian would know and would not need google to find out...and...next time you better use google than ask a question on youtube and wait for the reply..it'll take you less time

[FreeFromWar]

@guz9122 "i had to google it myself" since you did google it, why is it so difficult for you to simply tell me what it means rather than telling me to "Google it" or calling me a "dumbass"? Why do you feel the need to be abusive and try to degrade people? I really don't understand this absurd behaviour people have on YouTube. If you can't answer a question normally, don't say anything.

[guz9122]

@FreeFromWar "Speak English" ..it doesnt seem to me that their english is so bad that someone wouldnt understand it and..i did not like the "WTF" at the start of your sentence...it looks kind of abusive to me...thats why i decided to abuse and degrade you by calling you a "dumbass"...do you get it now? you better watch your words next time DEAR FRIEND

[FreeFromWar]

@guz9122 My saying "WTF" or "Speak english" wasn't abusive. It's sad that you have to resort to insults to make yourself feel better. I pity you. DEAR FRIEND

''PADMANABHA MAYAM ''

[mauryansamrat]

This belongs to temple and only temple and other Hindus can only decide . . Indian state (which says it is secular) should keep its hands off from It!!!

and yes The money should be used to uplift millions of Poor Hindus . . which are of course Indians . ..

[omtodkar]

This treasure should used by Indian government to develop our country....

Dont waste it for GOD prashad and all that it will be a narrow mind thinking...

By the way the trusties will use it for them selfs too...

This tresure should used under someones observation like two or more santha which can monitor that this treasure wont get in corrupte..

[TheGokulchand]

@omtodkar - good idea, why dont we sell taj mahal instead. why dont we get hold of kohinoor diamond and sell it off.. this is a national treasure.. the cellar wasnt open for more than 150 years, royal family were its guardians of these cellars, people should understand the emotions of thiruvananthapuram natives..

[youaccess2008]

funny how pseudo-secular national media is behind temple property and floating suggestions on distributing the wealth. A country where govt doesn't care to retrieve black money stacked abroad how can we ensure this treasure will not reach swiz bank vaults.

[mauryansamrat]

Part -1

How the money should be used? Good question!! well according to me . .. It should NOT be kept in vault, safe etc . ..It should be used like . . .

Built ONE grand beautiful temple of Vernacular Sree Padmanabhaswamy (open to all) as Good as Delhi's Akshardham and Vatican (spend about 1-2 billion dollor)

Build about a Dozen Multipurpose temples of Lord Sree Padmanabhaswamy around the country sharing the knowledge and involving some charity . . .

[mauryansamrat]

Part -2

Build "state of art" very good school in each and every district on the Temple truch and in the name of Lord Sree Padmanabhaswamy (2 billion $)

Build Few dozen universities all over country and world (8 billion $)

Build sustainable and small temples with multi purpose use in each village of Travincore or Kerala (4 billion $)

with rest of Money Make a Mission spreading the word and teaching of Lord Lord Sree Padmanabhaswamy in India and around the world!!!!

[kokoinmars]

@mauryansamrat You should be concerned with your own money. Who that fuck are you? No one asked for your advice boss.

[mauryansamrat]

@kokoinmars Its sad that parents have not taught you hope to speak . . .your upbringing has not been proper and your are in still process of being wat we call "civilized" . . .now the answer to your question "Who Am I ? " well I am a Indian but ofcourse this money doesnt belongs to all Indians but I am a Hindu and as the Royal themself has said this money should be spent on building Hindu Institutions , and spreading Hindu knowledge and culture . . . I am thankful that they thinks like me!!!

[kaniyalic]

Slolwly over 300 years 1850 british completely conquered india and british india become most power full nation on earth. By using indians wealth british slowly propagated chrsitianity and now christianity is worlds largest religion on earth. This is the part of world drama. No one can change the story . it is all documented. Slowly god proves who is asura( evil) impure and who are gods ( dieties) pure

[kaniyalic]

In the begening islam was a pure religion and time goes they started looting and looting and they have their by devloped strong islamic kingdom in many part of the world. However golden age of islamic kigdom was not good for india and rest of the world. By hearing all the looting story and trading story eurpeans started dreaming to go to indian( as the indians dreams to go to america now). Earopeans first came to inda in 1550 by vascodigama in kerela state. Slolwly over 300 years

[jimbob202019]

@kaniyalic islam has never been pure religion, its writen all down the history line how they raped and killed and went to war with pretty much the whole world, how can you say that is a pure faith... if anything it sounds like a man created his own faith and used it to fule his greed and war!!

All muslims started off as total thieves and killers, it was not intill they took over half the world and pushed the countrys they took over into islam that people even started the faith

[kaniyalic]

Thank lord vishnu for protecting the pure wealth. India had been looted by islamic mugals and ever since islam has been spreading all over the world with force and wealth. This way the godly dramas root is established in ravan kingdom. When the golden age of world end silver age started . in the end in the begening of kaliyug islam came to india with force.

[srkshpdmnbhn]

'NOT FOR SALE'

Though you may come to offer your obeisances to Sri Padmanabha Swami, but pls for god sake dont see it as your(or my) private property. It belongs to Sri Padmanabhan and him alone.

[srkshpdmnbhn]

Ppl who have no idea, though may have rights to express anything & everything, courtesy a tongue or a laptop, should understand (or know that they fail to understand), that this was offered to Sri Padmanabha Swami with unalloyed devotion, by kings who served the lord. Also, pls understand this was guarded over 100 yrs not with hitechs technology but by ppl who had devotion & sincerity to Sri Padmanabha Swami. Pls dont get this into your list of screwed up mess, if you are NOT interested in lord.

[jimbob202019]

infact its pretty well known that gold and accient bronze was hidden in sand under the temple it self so that the muslim invaders could not find it, imagen the amount of gold that is in the other temples lol just mind blowing!!!

[nsajja]

This treasure valued at 23 Billion dollars is actually worth 200 billion dollars with its antique value. This precious treasure of Lord Vishnu should be preserved at the temple with a museum and also taken up welfare schemes to the people moderately on the interest on money earned like Tirupathi, like univesities, health etc. No doubt Kerala will be the hottest tourist destination to the world. Please preserve this valuable treasure for future generations. RatnaGarbha India. AnantaSwarnamayam

[yedla1]

The indian culture is an unique in whole world.Let it preserve from the intruders.

[amkm005]

I am living in Trivandrum,but i had only visited padmanabha kshethram 4 times only..becz the devasam has strict rules and securities.Once i had seen a security was beating a devoter for an unimportent reason.We can see the securities are carring lathies.This is not the real way to treat the devoters,and nw the security systems is increasing.So this will suerly affect the devoters.

anandu mohan.

[TheVelappannair]

people speaking about the usage of money for development must understand that this is not black money or money stole from any where. This is national treasure our history(not for sale)

U can use the treasure for development (only happends when u sell treasure) before U must imagin about your future generation think about u when they saw the treasure octioned in London and NY, just like what we think about our ancestors when we saw Gandhiji's and tippu sultans belonging's were octioned

[TheVelappannair]

I am from trivandrum and now living in london, It is not a big news for me(i think most of the travencore people) because we know sri padmanabha swamy temple have huge treasure before the SC appointed people open it.

Please I am requesting the people who don't know the history of temple don't make unnecessary comment on temple and our present king (the person who know the value and depth of the treasure but never touched it).

[michaelmichaelBraun]

Imgtech is the bastard

[karthikunavailable]

i live near the temple \m/ ... .. all i could say is that the temple would never ever let anyone take this treasure away . Asking to distribute the treasure is the dumbest idea of 2011..the govt can't even distribute MP funds properly.

AND the maharaja and the temple authorities did a brave and noble thing of protecting the treasure from british and muslim invaders ( no offense intended )

[anoopsanju]

the king anizham thirunnal marthanda varma in 1750 gave almost 75% of this treasure to the temple . THEN he told all these belonging to lord padmanabha......

[MrDouglasdc3]

ALL THESE TREASURES MUST BE KEPT IN A MUSEUM .... ND GOVT MUST REALLY OPEN A MUSEUM IN INDIA .....

[reemasrex]

Fuck u sujithravi, its should take over in indian government

[MrRishisharma]

@reemasrex teri ma ke chot me gadhe ka land matherchod christian/muslim. Abe Gade ke padayish, hinduo ka paisa hindu ke pass nahi tho kiske pass rahega.

[salimloveshore1]

grt

[sujithravi84]

It is the wealth of the hindus and everyone should remember that india did had

numerous such temples with had even more wealth but was first looted by the

muslim invaders and later by the british. The evidence of this loot can be still be seen on the temples idols.

[lmgtech]

@sujithravi84 Hindus were the most prosperous and virile people in the whole world .

Why not?Hindus have the biggest slave treasure in the world .More than 85% of Indians are slaves for there Hindu masters for more than 3500 years.

Rs.1.2 lakh crore is stored in temple when people are dieing due to starving and there is nothing in the Travancore.

If i where on those era i will kick the Maharaja out and distribute the wealth to ordinary people.

Fuck you filthy INDIAN KINGS.



[MrRishisharma]

@lmgtech Dont worry the history has given you another opportunity, Go ahead and snatch the property of the Wakf board in India which will run in billions of dollars and distribute it to the poor. Have you got the guts to do what you said?

[inder19852000]

Kerala including the rest of India was prosperous during that time. Kerala is still rich compared to other states in India

[MrRishisharma]

@sujithravi84 I partly agree with you that this is the wealth of the Hindus, but it should be used for the welfare of poor people irrespective of their religion. And in fact it is only because Hindus are generous and tolerant towards others, that all religions of the world has prospered in this great country of ours. And ancient India rulers have never tried to invade others and loot the wealth of others and convert others religion. So be proud to be a Hindu but be humble about it.

[mauryansamrat]

@sujithravi84 you are right . . . but we were little foolish as well . . we should have been little more visionary, more missionary .. . and we shoud have kept the Ahimsa little at side . . . though the good news is . . .who so ever plundered India will be wiped out and punished in the worst way . . its not my wish . . its the Wish of Lord himself . . its the wish of Shiva, God and Allah . . .look at the condition of Afghanistan . . it will happen to Pakistan . . .portugal n rest!!

[inoidontknow]

This is solid proof that the hindus were the most prosperous and virile people in the whole world. Every damn thing has been ruined by the Westerners who set foot here... our society is gone, our unity is gone, our self respect is gone, our social peace is gone, our families are gone, our land is gone, our resources are gone!!

[podfreak]

@inoidontknow 'Hindus'...how about Indians???

[jimbob202019]

@podfreak it is hindu gold not INDIAN GOLD!! it was found in a hindu temple as offerings so how can you say its indian gold, the word indian is not even the real name of india.

Dont let them rich fuckers get their dirty hands on that gold, they would want to melt it down and fules their bullshit life styles!

Their is shit loads of gold in india but it was robbed by muslim invaders and christians such as dutch and English ect, but they are saying that they still need to open one more valut :)

[jehanzeb89]

@inoidontknow IM and Asian not a indian but i have to agree with u ..

those fucking westerns have ruined everything here

[bobbykonni]

@inoidontknow The whole world's problem is one or the other way is related to colonialism..British moved indians as workers to Fiji,srilanka and all the fights with ethnics after 250 yrs, fight in the lebanon,israel and other middle east, sudan, south africa everything is related to what europe had done 300 yrs ago....Unfortunately, there is no place for gun in a polite and peaceful society...so India was easily conquered by everyone........Unfortunately we welcomed everyone..............

[eflwinnie]

@inoidontknow Sorry the temple never belongs to Hinduism but the Buddhism, so the Buddhism is rich.

[inoidontknow]

@eflwinnie buddhism, jainism and sikhism are all hinduism in various forms. buddhism talks of dhyana (meditation) which is a part of Raja Yoga of Patanjali. Gautama the Buddha is a hindu actually. Jainism talks of the God with Conch and Discuss which is nothing but Lord Narayana. Sikh gurus were actually very vocal supporters of hindus. The Sri Adi Granth Sahib contains main hindu verses.

Net net, please don't bring bullshit into our sacred places.

[eflwinnie]

@inoidontknow They lied to you about other religions. They are individual and never belongs to Hindu. Hindus lied their people and others by saying that all are the branches of Hindu. Please wake up.

[oxycontiin]

@inoidontknow Don't worry mate, it's not all bad. You still have plenty of self pity.

[tarahSky3]

@inoidontknow yes, and they are still continuing to take it away from us. They are just starting to put all these excessive security measures at temples, so they can start interfering with people performing their prayers and religious ceremonies. They even want to start changing the architecture of the temples! Can you believe it? Changing our 5000 year old heritage.

[Indianews]

The Kerala govt.which was run by the Congress and the Marxist for the last 63  years had made a wooping debt of 70000/- crores for the People of Kerala.

But the Visioned most respectable Kings of Travancore kept the unmatched wealth of more than 100000 crore for the Keralites future.I feel proud to be a Keralite from Travancore region .The name of Travancore will shine the world over.I was lucky to visit the temple last day way back from Singapore.No comparision beteween the rulers of now

[das98989898]

Treasure found shouldn't be looted by corrupt politician of the country instead the treasure should be used to revive sick PSU all over the country which these corrupt politicians have deliberately destroyed by mismanagement and greed few such PSU are BSNL,AIR INDIA LIMITED,RAILWAYS and other units.Hope the stupid CAG and RBI keeps track of it and ensures its proper utilization so that the booty is not secretly channeled to Swiss bank as done earlier since 1947.

[171K79]

Put it in a museum!

[TheEsemor]

@171K79 to be robbed by politicians ?

[171K79]

@TheEsemor

It's the Temples property, not the GoI. Put in a museum, make money from visitors, preserve history for future generations.

Then again this is India, fuck knows what will happen to it!

[BVargas78]

This is great news, what an amazing find!
