Treasure trove at Padmanabhaswamy temple

Erstwhile kings of Travancore Dynasty were ruling their land as servants of Lord Padmanabha. They were good at governance and many more things. It seems dynasty used to keep a corpus for exigencies such famine, war etc. Probably things were kept geographically scattered. Since Temple of Lord Padmanabha was of great reverence, a good lot of treasures were kept there in cellars. These days in the wake of a court order, an exercise is being done to enumerate them. Now that all these information is coming into open, security might have to be strengthened!!

P.S.
Whenever a change at the government occurs these days, the party that comes into power cries about the empty coffers. May them learn from the wisdom of old kings
