“It is ideal that we keep the B vault
locked. The treasures stored in that

vault that is located below the deity’s

head are protected by taming of

micro-natural forces by tantric
experts for ensuring its safe upkeep.

If anyone dares to open that vault, it

would trigger off a series of troubles”,

Vaasthu expert K Muraleedharan Nair had then opined.

• Rai’s recommendations

The wealth management audit committee was
constituted based on a Supreme Court directive in 2015 to

look into alleged irregularities in the functioning of the temple

administration. The SC order came on the heels of the

recommendations of amicus curae and senior advocate Gopal

Subramaniam who had sought a complete overhaul of the said
administration in 2014.

The comprehensive audit report which is said to be in five

parts that come to 1000 pages bound in two volumes and

covers a period of 2004-2014, reiterates that there was a lack
of transparency in the auditing process of the temple wealth.

Rai also points out to the ‘abnormal’ increase in temple

expenditure and has delineated strict accounting norms and

record-maintenance in minute detail for the future.
