Sree padmanabhaswamy temple



Sri Padmanabha Swamy temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu located in Thiruvananthapuram,Kerala  India. The temple is a blend of the Kerala and Dravidian style of architecture. The temple is one of the 108 holy shrines of Lord Vishnu known as Divyadesam. The temple made headlines after a Supreme Court-appointed committee started inventory assessment of its secret vaults after prolonged litigation between a complainant and the royal family.A huge cache of gold, precious stones, jewellery, rare coins and idols was discovered in six underground cellars of the temple. The rough estimate of the value of the treasure was around .`1 lakh crore making it probably the richest temple in India.
