The Mysterious SEALED Temple Door NO ONE Can Open: Last Door of Padmanabhaswamy

Throughout the course of history, countless individuals have come and gone, leaving behind remnants of their existence in a world that has spanned thousands of years. It would be naive to believe that there are no remnants of their presence left behind. Our ancestors have diligently passed down as much knowledge as they could to future generations. However, what about the ancient wisdom that has been lost over time? Is it our responsibility as modern inhabitants of this world to unearth these hidden secrets? Or were they intentionally buried under the sands of time for a specific purpose? One such enigma may lie within the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple, an ancient temple that stands as a testament to the Hindu faith. Situated in Kerala, India, this temple holds the distinction of being the wealthiest temple in the entire world. A mere glimpse at the magnificent structure reveals its grandeur, as it is adorned with actual gold. This ancient temple is a splendid example of the fusion of Keralan and Dravidian architectural styles, which are widely favored in Hindu temples, particularly in the state of Kerala.

However, the Padmanabhaswamy temple possesses a unique quality that distinguishes it from all others. It is not merely the resplendent golden exterior that sets it apart, but rather something far more enigmatic. Legend has it that beneath this ancient Hindu temple lies a treasure of unparalleled magnitude, known to be one of the greatest treasures ever discovered by mankind. The history of the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple dates back to the period between 500 B.C. and 300 A.D., as evidenced by its mention in various texts from India's Sangam Period of literature. Like any other temple, it serves as a sacred place of worship for a specific deity. In the case of the Padmanabhaswamy temple, the primary deity is Vishnu, symbolized by the revered Sri Padmanabha. This temple is one of the 108 Vaishnavite shrines in existence, and access to it is exclusively granted to Hindus. Although the exact date of its construction remains unknown, one thing is certain: it has stood the test of time and will continue to do so long after our own existence. It is the allure of this temple's rich yet forgotten history that ignites the inner Indiana Jones within each of us, compelling us to uncover the mysteries concealed within the depths of time.

In the 21st century, Hindu knowledge has made significant strides. Following a directive from the Indian Supreme Court in 2011, an exploration of the six renowned vaults beneath the temple took place, resulting in a discovery that reverberated across the globe. The contents found within these opened vaults were nothing short of extraordinary, solidifying the temple's esteemed reputation. Among the treasures unearthed were precious gemstones, valuable metals, ancient artifacts, and above all, an abundance of gold. Dating back to approximately 200 B.C., the gold coins, necklaces, crowns, and even a solid gold statue of the temple's deity, Padmanabha, were estimated to be worth billions of dollars. This remarkable find stands as one of the most significant treasure discoveries in history. However, what adds to the intrigue is that out of the six vaults, only five were fully opened. The remaining vault, known as Vault B by the Indian Supreme Court, houses a door that leads to another chamber. Adorned with intricate carvings, including two imposing cobras, the door serves as a foreboding warning to those who dare to unlock it and unravel the secrets concealed within.

There are no latches or bolts, nor even a keyhole, and no other means of entry except for a ritual performed by a "sadhus" or Hindu monk who must possess enough power to recite the "Garuda Mantra" or chant. Currently, there is no known individual capable of such a feat. This is why the inner sanctum has been sealed for centuries, and its contents remain a mystery to all. The temple officials, including the Travancore royal family who are entrusted with the temple, have lost much information about the temple and its vaults. However, considering the substantial wealth found in the other vaults, it would be reasonable to assume that this vault too holds treasures, and perhaps even more, if the cobras' warning on the vault door holds any truth. The fear instilled by this warning may be one of the reasons why the temple's vaults have remained untouched over time. However, the 2011 Supreme Court order to open the vaults was not solely driven by the curiosity of treasure hunters and archaeologists, but also by a less mysterious and more practical motive.

In 2007, Ananda Padmanabhan, a lawyer from Trivandrum, Kerala, filed a lawsuit against the Travancore family, accusing them of mismanaging the temple and using its wealth for their own benefit. Padmanabhan, a passionate historian, possessed extensive knowledge about the temple's history. Throughout the years, Indian royals had bestowed immense riches upon the temple as a tribute to its deity. Elaborate ceremonies were even conducted, during which maharajas would donate gold equivalent to the weight of the princes who were transitioning into adulthood. Concerned that the temple's treasures were still present and could potentially be misused by the royal family, Padmanabhan took legal action. Consequently, the Indian government ordered an inventory of the temple's treasures. Interestingly, this was not the first attempt by the Indian government to explore the temple. According to a travel guide about Travancore, an ancient Indian kingdom now part of modern-day Kerala, written by a renowned British author, the discovery made in 2011 was not the initial one, although it did uncover the largest amount of treasure.

In 1908, an unsuccessful attempt was made to open the vaults as the explorers hastily departed upon discovering the chambers infested with cobras. However, in 1931, when the state of Kerala was facing financial difficulties, another endeavor was undertaken to breach the vaults. This time, it proved to be successful, with at least one of the vaults being opened and a significant amount of treasure being discovered. As for the remaining vaults, it would take 80 years until their treasures were eventually found, except for Vault B, which has remained closed and inaccessible to the outside world. Presently, the government of India is still making efforts to unlock the sealed door within Vault B. The Travancore royal family, along with numerous religious devotees, have appealed against the government's decision to conduct another exploration of the remaining vault. To determine the fate of the temple and its treasures, a ritual known as Devaprasnam was conducted. During this ritual, a young boy served as the medium through which the deity conveyed his wishes and interacted with others.

After the Devaprasnam ceremony, it appears that the deity expressed dissatisfaction, desiring the treasures to remain undisturbed and the final vault to remain unopened, or else. The astrologers who conducted the ritual believe that opening the inner chamber will result in unimaginable catastrophic events of apocalyptic proportions. Currently, a legal battle is ongoing in the courts of India. There are various opinions regarding what should be done with the discovered treasure. Some argue that it should be utilized for the betterment of the people of Trivandrum, the city in Kerala where the temple is located, while religious devotees hold a different perspective. They believe that it is not appropriate for the government to intervene and access the temple's wealth, especially considering the strong opposition that prevented a similar attempt to inventory the wealth of Christian churches in the state. Therefore, why should the situation be any different for the Padmanabhaswamy temple? Additionally, since the treasure was bestowed upon the deity, it should remain in the possession of the deity. In India, deities are legally capable of owning property; however, they are considered minors and require "adults" to oversee their affairs.
