10 Richest Temples in India

With the latest discovery of over 1 lakh crore treasures in Thiruvananthapuram Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple of Kerala, the list of the richest temples in India has become the buzzword in the internet.

Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple tops the list with huge treasures found in the underground cellars of the temple by proving again that Lord Vishnu likes to wear ornaments.. (“Vishnu Alankara Priya”).

Here is the list of 10 richest temples in India (we have not taken the treasure or the revenue the temple has but by the number of devotees visit the temple daily or yearly).. (Except Padmanabhaswamy Temple of Kerala).

1. Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala

Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams of Lord Vishnu. Divya Desam is a temple of Lord Vishnu which was mentioned in Hindu Scriptures as holy and sacred. The city of Thiruvananthapuram is named after Lord Vishnu. As per the sources, the foundation f the present temple’s gopuram was laid in 1566. But the actual temple was built way before this.

With the recent discovery of more than 1 lakh crore rupees of worth treasures in the temple’s ‘nelamaliga’ (underground rooms), it has become one of the richest temples in India (most probably it is the richest temple in India).

    Use the money like the Christians do. It will do well to Hinduism as well as to the humanity.

  11. Ronal Patel says:

    I though that Thirupati Balaji is the richest temple

  12. Dr.Pranavi, Author. says:

    Primarily the area in which the so called temple exists, should be developed with temple funds like Vatican City. It should be with broad roads, highly efficient drainage system, well maintained public Rest rooms, drinking water facilities, litter and dust free roads, well maintained hotels and restaurants, convenient public transport, well equipped Hospitals, good Schools, Colleges, Gyms, Stadiums, Malls with entertainment facilities, Metting Halls and strict Police guard and Security. The Public Darshan of the Diety should only through conveyer or escolater system only. VIP. Darshan should not hinder Public Darshan. The entire arrangements should be carried out with Temple Funds. Temple Collection should not become wasteful dump !!!.

  13. Dr.Pranavi, says:

    The temple money should not be a wasteful dump. Humanitarian services are deemed to be the service to God !!! Similarly the god is expected to do service to the society. Please use money of the Temple to develop the City/Town/Village of the Temple.

  14. Prasad. SVN. says:

    Develop Tirupathi like Vatican, with TTD Funds only. Don’t make the temple money as a wasteful dump.

  15. Alok Mukherjee says:

    Everybody said income of temple should be spent on development of city and other social causes. I suggest a Govt body should be included within the trustees so that income – expenditure are properly maintained. After expenditure, 10% (say) of the remaining fund every year may be kept fixed and rest should go for development of the country comprising govt. Body and trusree.

    Dear ALL,
    Iwould like to writing a few things which is very important to every one ! in this world we believe that in god …like krishna , allah , jeus …& Balaji etc …. but today people are making huge money through god. like its just like a business. and i will give u an example that tirupati balalji if u want to meet him then u have to pay money then it is possible to meet balaji lord … and also i change the name that not tirupati balaji …its a new name “”MONEY PATI BALALJI'” .and this temple belongs to only for Sachin tendulkar , Amithab Bachan , Anil ambani, tata birla, ratan tata & many more not for poor people ….. anyway thanks to all.

  26. mebarnites barcelonian says:

    all temples must be nationalised. money is un neceearily going to tempes when people are starving.
    prices have gone sky high and yet no decent public service is there.

    temple priest are swines. no collections must be allowed. staes must maintain temples. I am sure modi, naidu all are looting these temples. dr jaya the whore of tamil had diverted her funs to Nepal via peetham ch00th of mutt the dickhead full name I forgot he wa alsoa rrested for this. the money went to Nepal. I think the shooout which killed the Nepal royals that time can be linked tot ths money now moid the bstrds is trying to lot thismoney. he must be buried alive in the shores of ganga. or like osama sunk to the bottom. enuf ho gaya.
