Chittorgarh : a Krishna temple in Rajasthan where treasure worth crores of rupees has been found, this temple is in the news these days due to the amount of offerings. This temple is Shri Sanwalia Seth located in Chittorgarh. So far, record breaking offerings of around Rs 22 crore have been counted in the famous Krishna Dham of Mewar. Last month, on November 30, after the Rajbhog Aarti, the store was opened in the presence of the administrative officer of the temple, the president and members of the temple board. On the very first day after opening of the store, notes worth Rs 11 crore 34 lakh 75 thousand were counted, breaking the record. In the second phase, notes worth Rs 3 crore 60 lakh were counted, in the third phase Rs 4 crore 27 lakh 80 thousand and in the fourth phase, notes worth Rs 2 crore 73 lakh 90 thousand were counted. Counting for the fifth phase will begin on Thursday.
So much offering that extra boxes were placed in the temple
According to the temple administration, this time the store of Shri Sanwaliya Seth was opened after two months. This year, after Diwali, this reserve amount is being counted for the first time. This counting of offerings is likely to continue for the next few days. Because with the increase in the number of devotees, the donation box in the temple has been filled with offerings, due to which additional donation boxes had to be installed. It is believed that this figure of offerings can reach close to 30 crores. The additional donation boxes installed in the temple premises are yet to be counted.
More than Rs 13 crore counted after last Diwali
The amount coming out of the donation boxes is yet to be counted. Apart from this, the gold and silver found in the meeting room and stores is also yet to be weighed. Last year, when the Bhandar was opened on the same Amavasya after Diwali, an offering amount of about Rs 13 crore 86 lakh was received. If we talk about cash offerings from the repository, the best record is around Rs 15 crore. After this, the amount withdrawn from the store on this Amavasya opened after Diwali has been calculated as 21 crore 96 lakh 45 thousand cash amount from the store. This figure is the highest so far in the amount withdrawn from the temple treasury.
