Monday, September 5, 2011: A lawyers’ commission report of 2008
revealed that a part of the invaluable treasure of Sera Padmanabhaswamy
Temple had gone missing. The authorities handling the treasure had acted
irresponsibly on the issue, the report said.
The report said that commission’s directive to prepare a list and
make precise account of the quantity and worth of the gold and other
precious materials of the treasure was vehemently opposed by the royal
family.
The commission which was appointed to hand over ornaments from the
treasure for a festival gave astonishing reports: Two vaults were opened
on October 19, 2008 and found that 44 buckles of a large golden
umbrella were found to have been replaced with copper ones.
Two silver bells named ‘Kumbheeyam’ found missing. The long golden
thread that laced the golden umbrella had gone missing. The commission
had already pointed out the lack of adequate security measures in the
temple.
