Richie Rich 'Lord Venkateswara' Sits on a Goldmine
Our earlier post describes in detail that "Tirupati Balaji' is the Richest God in the world". Now here is more about that Richie Rich Lord who actually sits on a Goldmine. This temple of "Lord Venkateshwara" is in the town of Chittor District of Andhra Pradesh in India & is located in the foot hills of Tirumala.
As per one report:
Currently there are nearly 11 tonnes (11,000 kgs) of Gold ornaments and vessels in Lord Venkateswara possession ( Actually with the trust which runs temple of Lord Venkateshwara in the foot hills of Tirumala). The administration maintains 19 records to register the accounts of these jewels, vessels and precious items.
Gifting precious and dazzling jewels to Lord started with the Pallavas almost 1400 years ago which was latter followed by Pandyas, Cholas, Vijayanagara rulers. Among Vijayanagara rulers, emperor Sri Krishna Devaraya alone offered a huge chunk of diamonds and gold offerings during his seven-times visit to Tirumala along with his wives, Tirumala Devi and Chinna Devi.
The most exquisite and precious among the riches of Lord is the “Vajra Kireetam” the diamond crown which was designed by TTD in 1986. This was the third on in the crown series of the Lord which was prepared at a cost of Rs 5.73 crore using 28,369 diamonds of high quality and 26 kgs of “aparanji” (pure) gold. The entire weight of the kireetam is about 13.36 kgs. As per current bullion rates, the crown might cost over Rs 50 crore.

*** Dear Readers: I too once visited the "Tirupati Balaji" temple at Tirumala. In fact there was a large white colored big cotton bag which was hanging in the temple premises, in which people were putting their donations. It is said that many times visiting women just take out all their gold ornaments they are wearing & just put these gold ornaments in the cotton bag out of their devotion to the Lord. Many men just put bundles of currency notes in the bag. There were many rooms which were visible to the visitors, in which many men were just counting the currency notes put in the bag as offering to the Lord & interestingly all these men counting the notes were monitored through a Close TV Circuit Cameras in a control room which was monitored by a man so that a strict vigil can be there on persons counting the currency notes!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you can understand the devotion of people to the "Lord Venkateswara" in India & how He has become the Richie Rich God of the world.
