Greetings from Quebec, Canada! I wanted to share my heartfelt admiration for the enchanting country of India. During my visit, I was mesmerized by the diverse and breathtaking landscapes, the rich and flavorful cuisine, the vibrant culture, and above all, the real treasure isn't the magnificient Padmanabhaswany temple but the sincere kindness displayed by the people. My time in India left an everlasting impression on me, and I feel truly grateful for the wonderful experiences I had 🙏. I miss India so much, especially Kerala 😉.
I lived my whole life in Trivandrum,it may not be as developed as Kochi but this royal city and its treasures are hidden in plain sight.This temple is in the heart of the city but if you have an eye for architecture you will see it’s ancient forts and walls which find its way through modern buildings,oddly placed random palaces and ancient houses ,community of multiple generations Tamil Brahmin priests and the whispers of it’s treasures and myths.Unlike Mysore kings ,Travancore kings were humble ,they never lead a lavish lifestyle or spent money on majestic palaces .India had many rich kingdoms but got looted by invaders but Travancore got lucky with their treasures.
Trivandrum is now the fastest growing city in Kerala with the arrivalk of Vizhinjam port. The new projects planned for Trivandrum will propel the city as the number one city in Kerala soon.
Wow 😳 thanku so much for this . Earlier i thought... Karela was called God's own country... And it was done by Christians. But today I find out the absolute king 👑❣️ Om namah Narayana ❣️🙏 Odissa becomes the kingdom of Sri jagarnath as well. I'm from North Bengal, in our place the royal deity is Sri madanmohan ( Krishna) ... The kingdom of coochbehar. I wished if the king of coochbehar did the same it would be better.
And Karnataka was ruled by Virupaksha(Shiva). Vijayanagara's king would sign with the name of Virupaksha, the Shiva in their magnificent capital Hampi.
I must have missed this headline in 2011. I like the mystery of the unopened door, like the Qin Shi Huang tomb. Learning about hidden treasure from a beautiful narrator is also a treasure.
The 22 billion is just the value of gold in valt A with out adding cultural and architectural value, and the gold is ultra pure than ordinary 24 carat gold and there is lots of diamond bigger than kohinoor From an ancient record the valt b contains around 800 billion worth of treasure with out adding cultural and architecture value...

I have been curious about this story since I heard of it. Very fascinating! I honestly hope they will exhibit some of the incredible pieces and artifacts online to share with the World. That would be real Treasure, and for All. 😊
The Naga Door is like something straight out of D&D, where you need a Bard to hit the right tones to open it. It's a dungeon adventure for sure, with legit fantasy-style treasure and maybe even monsters
Very well presented. Interesting to hear about the different ways in which the wealth accumulated. Wonder how come the East India company was not tempted to lay their hands on this wealth
Unlike the Portuguese, Dutch and the French, the British never messed up with religion. They were very shrewd to not understand the ramifications of that. Thrippadi Daanam was a political masterstroke by King Marthana Varma. By doing so he ensured that the gargantuan wealth is safely secure in the vaults under the sanctum Sanctorum of the temple. Access to the temple was only to the Hindus anyways. He was quite powerful on the military front too. In fact the only European Navy to be defeated is the Dutch Navy by Travancore ( The Battle of Colachel) Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan could only defeat the princely state of Cochin but not Travancore. The British was not aware of the magnitude of the wealth present in the Temple. Such was the secrecy that was maintained. The wealth belongs to the Lord. The status quo should not be altered.
Travancore was a princilly state , British didn't had a complete control on this kingdom, it was ruled independently by the Maharaja of Travancore. Hence British couldn't mess up over here.
@@sreejithsiva7885or the British never knew what was inside probably....they might have thought looking at the humble Travancore King's who were never into flashy lifestyle unlike other Kingdoms in India and thought there is nothing much to loot other than the basic taxation on pepper etc...the British behaved very differently with the Kerala kingdoms...they were a bit harsher on northern Kerala kingdoms...but we're pretty much happier with south Kerala kingdoms ( there were many kingdoms inside current Kerala which were all made into one to form current state of Kerala). I am sure the British saw nothing worth stealing in Kerala other than spices....😂😂😂😂 Had they ever knows 😂😂😂😂😂 kudos to the people of erstwhile Travancore who took the secret to their death bed and never ousted the royal secret. Else everything would have been sitting on the British royal crown jewels or in the British museum now 😂
@@iambackwithabang can't say that they didn't loot anything from Kerala, even today we have many Kerala artifacts in the British museum including the ivory throne of victoria and etc 🥴🥴🤣🤣... I think British never got a chance to loot, cuz this land was already looted by the Portuguese and Dutch , could be that was the reason why the native kings started to hide their treasures , not sure yet ... 🙃🙃
The British's role in preserving Indian heritage is criminally underrated. The British surveyed, researched and protected many monuments of our great Bharat Varsh and humanity as a whole.
They were the ones who discovered the existence of our famous emperor Ashoka! They also did major public works, repairs, and administrative reforms for South Indian temples.
Excellent presentation and agreat and dedicated efforts to exhibit the valuable assets of our ancesters, and same time it rememorise the cultural heredity of religious faith which has control our society.
It is deeply touching that a King would, with great reverence and humility, apply himself as a caretaker or custodian in the name of God. Do the administrators use some part of the wealth for education, hospitals, etc. like Tirumala Tirupati devasthanam, in the name of God? I am not well versed about this temple, as I am with Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam. Please let me know.
They were very well aware of it. But the travancore kings were so strong and paid taxes they could not attack or loot. Salute to those heroes who protected Kerala from those devils. But unfortunately people from Kerala do not realize it
Don’t you think it wrong to use the word “Muslim” ? As a Muslim in India I admire these places and respect them . Muslim refers to the followers of Islam . I am surrounded by many Hindus here in south and we are like a family. You using “those Muslims “ feels disrespectful towards us. Sure , the people who looted OUR India were Muslims but that doesn’t mean that you classify it in such a way . I am sorry , I didn’t want to offend anyone , just trying to express my feeling .
Just shows the imported concepts like “secularism “ has no relevance in Bharath. It sets its own standards. After all Sanathana Dharma itself is a concept which is timeless 🕉🙏🏼
What an treasure of archaeological importance and evidence of historical legitimacy of a glorious Indian past. These treasures must contain within themselves brilliant peices of history. I just wish to find written documents in the closed vaults. Like something which gives a chronological record of the past. I will go again to this glorious place.
@@dnd-yd2uu oh Yes that too. That is something I am concerned about, malayalis got 100% literacy, unfortunately along with that 500% arrogance. After getting education now they are willing to destroy our own culture, and be western copycats by consuming western secretions
Is all that wealth really safe? Given the corruption all over India, one should expect bits and pieces of all that treasure to make their way into pockets of corrupt officials.
It is safe in the temple, the Royal family don't let anyone to mess up with it , even they won't use it , cuz it is God's wealth. Even the Maharaja of Travancore have to dust his feet after visiting the temple , cuz even the soil in the temple is owned by the God himself.
I think Travancore were the best, they protected the wealth, and specially the religion and culture which I guess is getting wholeheartedly destroyed by Mallus😔
Greatness lies not in gifts given the temple. It lies in honesty of the servants of God in keeping the valuables that came in. And they have been coming in for many centuries.
Thank God the British didnt know about it They would looted the treasures and kept it as part of their crown jewels or displayed it in their MUSEUM OF LOOT
They were very well aware of it. But the travancore kings were so strong and paid taxes they could not attack or loot. Salute to those heroes who protected Kerala from those devils. But unfortunately people from Kerala do not realize it.
It was a bank in old time. They used to give loans to local Kingdom during hardtime or war etc . The gold doesn't belongs to the god, it belongs to the temple and whoever ran it during that time. Yes God didn't ask for any gold.
Marthanda Varma expanded his kingdom through bloody wars and conquests. Before Marthanda Varma, when an invading army conquers a kingdom, that kingdom becomes the vassal state for the conqueror king. But Marthanda Varma during his conquests killed the Royal Family of the kingdoms he captured and looted all their wealth and treasures. Because of this, the commoners in these conquered lands did not accept him as a legitimate ruler and was considered a tyrant. For their approval, Marthanda Varma started donating all his wealth to the temple and justified his conquests as a will of God. Politics!
Been there yesterday. Truly peaceful spiritual experience. However the traditions are being disturbed by tourists trying to impose their normal (to them) practices here. Like ..shouting Ki Jai. Not done. Not here. Hope someone tells them. Here prayers are prayers. Not slogans.
Why is no one talking about the vault g,h which also have been open since centuries. Vault b has been opened several times even after the order of supreme court.
@Santhosh Kumar it has been published and the inventory has also been taken . It is officially in the records of the padmanabhaswamy temple. It is true info.
What happened to the gifts ( treasure) ??? Is it under the Indian government or under temple organisation?? Why they 've never show this treasure which they got from the vault to the public??? And why there is no picture of vault "B" ?. Why you guys are considering snakes as a bad symbol to open the vault even its a place of god vishnu ji. Please answer these questions i have these questions in my mind since i heard about it.
I was with you until the end when you mentioned about 7 room which is closed using Sarpabandha method which is very scared and their must be a strong reason for it to be that way. Your words at the end were like very rude and disrespectful. Respect the ancient methode and stop looking for some propaganda.
Wrong ശരിക്കും അവർ കൃത്യമായ രീതിയിൽ കണക്ക് ചിട്ടപ്പെടുത്തിയ ഇല്ല ഒരു ഏകദേശ കണക്ക് മാത്രമാണ് മെറ്റീരിയൽ വേലിയൂ കണക്ക് മാത്രമേ അത് ഏകദേശം കൃത്യം അല്ലാതെയുള്ള ഉള്ള കണക്കു മാത്രം ചരിത്രപരമായ കണക്ക് ഇപ്പോഴും ബാക്കി നിൽക്കുന്നു.
No one donated it to government did they? It was given by the devotees to the deity and all rights belong to temple and deity alone, and they aren't owned by government so no
The temple houses an 18 foot long statue of the main deity, Lord Padmanabhaswamy. I say 18 feet “long” instead of tall because the statue is supine/laying down. The necklace is to drape over statue as a garland.
Stupid ആരു പറഞ്ഞു ഇന്ത്യ ദാരിദ്ര്യം പിടിച്ച രാജ്യമാണ് എന്ന്. ഇതെല്ലാം രാജ്യത്തിൻറെ പൈതൃക സ്വത്താണ് അത് സംരക്ഷിക്കാൻ എല്ലാവർക്കും ഒരുപോലെ അവകാശമുണ്ട് അല്ലാതെ ക്ഷേത്രത്തിലുള്ള കുറച്ചു സ്വർണം കണ്ടിട്ട് മാത്രം ആരും ഇവിടെ കമ്മ്യൂണിസം വിളമ്പണ്ട😂
Even the same is true for Jagannatha temple, serpent gods remain guard the treasury vaults of lord Jagannath, under whose sole suzerainty lies Odisha. Lord Jagannath is the Supreme diety of Odisha for aeons and our Odia culture is pure Vaishnavaite, with some lord Shiva and Devi temples. We had trade relationships with South-east Asian countries, Persia and Ming China too. These wealth gets accumulated in the Jagannath temple, in the vaults which are used to adorn lord Jagannath everyday( only 2 are open, rest are closed due to mysterious deaths of trespassers).
6:19 didn’t the government tried to open it and they weren’t available too? Kekw Btw couldn’t they try open it by going on the walls or the back which could be on other side? Or use high technology tools?
There is ritual in Hinduism through it we can have conversation with deities and his question of whether vault should be opened or not ,and the temple deity asked not to open the vault ,and so do we devotees
They tried to open it with the other vaults but the locks were completely corroded so they had to postpone the counting and thats when the court order came and the process was halted entirely. There are interviews of one of the officials who went in to the vault and he clearly describes how it happened. People here loves conspiracy theories but a 5 min research can end this bs
I am an agnostic but I still believe some things are better left unknown. What if there are immensely valuable treasures and the curses are a metaphoric way of saying that evils such as avarice, and the lust for wealth will take upon the society and could lead to looting (evils could also be mental demons which are inherent in human beings). What if it breaks the peace and harmony in society. Present situation of India is already very fractious.
So why did she say vault B was never opened? The next screen showed that it had been opened multiple times between 1990 and 2002. This video was published in 2021
They didn't truly ruled Travancore and, in fact, most of current-day Kerala. Travancore was nominally a tributary of Vijayanagara for some times, and after them of the Madurai Nayaks, to which it gave some tributes. But it wasn't in the effective control of these kingdoms. Vijayanagara and Nayakates are more rooted into the states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, not Kerala.
