The temples, the respidences of gods, are huge depository of gold, tons and tons of them. There is no correct inventory or estimate of them. How much of it is looted is also not known.
The Thiruvananthapuram Sri Padmanabha Swami Temple, Tirupati Balaji Temple are known to have hundreds of tons of gold valued at lakh of crore of rupees with them. Now another temple has come in the lime light.
Sidhi Vinayak Temple in Mumbai is stated to have 158 tons of gold worth Rs.417 crore.
What these offerings to God are being utilised for? Centuries back, the invaders ransacked the temples and took all valuables. Now who is going to loot – the government, the former kings or the present owners.
One thing is clear.It is not the god who is interested; but the man. There is no limit to greed.
God and Gold inseparable!
