In India, a Hindu temple is believed to house treasure valued at a trillion dollars.
Known as The Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, it is situated in Kerala and has a history stretching back over 5,000 years.
Within the temple, there are six vaults that contain the treasure, five of which have been accessed over time.
Vault B, however, remains unopened due to rumors of supernatural protection.
It is believed that attempting to open it could result in severe consequences.
Another legend suggests that Vault B might lead directly to the Arabian Sea instead of holding treasure.
While the sixth vault is reportedly still closed, the other five were ordered to be opened by India’s Supreme Court in 2011. This followed a petition demanding transparency in the temple’s management.
The opening of these vaults revealed astonishing treasures.
On an episode of The Hunt for Hidden Treasures, Forbes’ Jim Dobson described: “They documented everything in the chambers. One chamber was just for ornaments and jewellery, [and] another chamber was just for jewels.
“There were sacks and sacks of diamonds and rubies and emeralds.
“There were thrones made of gold. There was a 300 pound gold veil, and there was a rope of gold chain that was 1100 pounds.”
Dobson further explained that the temple’s immense value originates from the era when the Maharajas imposed taxes on the lower caste system.
Reports from Times Now indicate that among the treasures discovered were 7kg of gold coins from the 1700s.
There was also a 9-foot-long gold necklace weighing 2.5 kg and a ton of rice gems crafted from gold.
The outlet mentioned the find of a small gold elephant statue and a 3.5-foot-tall statue of Mahavishnu, made of gold and adorned with diamonds, rubies, and numerous other precious stones.
While it’s commonly believed that Vault B has never been opened, Auditor General Vinod Rai informed the Supreme Court in 2011 that the vault had been accessed at least seven times since 1990, according to Forbes.
The identities of those who opened the vaults are unknown, and it seems no negative consequences befell them.
Or did they…
