Mystery Padmanabh Swamy Mandir of Thiruanathapuram

Padmanabhaswamy temple is a Hindu Temple located in Thiruvananthapuram, in the state capital of Kerala, India. The name of the city of Thiruvananthapuram in Malayalam translates to "The City of Lord Ananta", (City of the Divine Serpent) referring to the deity of the Padmanabhaswamy temple. The temple is built in an intricate fusion of the Chera Style and the Dravidian style of architecture, featuring high walls, and a 16th-century gopura.

And we also know that its 6 vaults have been opened but its seventh vault is a biggest mystery because there judge ordered people to open this gate then after some time, he died in an accident. Also, whenever someone tried to open this vault, then some causalities happened in Kerala.

Facts about Naga Bandham of 7 vaults: We have seen some Naga pasam and Naga Bandham in this gate. Some people say, that these are serpentine security to protect this gate and some says that this gate can be opened by some mantras. However, if we want to understand this Naga bandhan then we have to understand, why these temple carved these kinds of structures on temples.

Also these structures are really knots to tie a rope on different patterns. Previously, people provided every information on their monuments even their life too. So this is a part of life that how they use rope to tie for their security. If people mimic those carving in their way, then they would understand that those tricked actually advanced and works. Same like, the carving on 7 vault of Padmanbhswamy temple also depicts some science, however this is beyond our understanding. But that was also a carving of tying a knot.

On the bequest of the Supreme Court of India the seven member committee in the presence of the Head Trustee of Travencore Trust of Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swamy temple at Tiruvananthapur in Kerala have opened the six secret vaults. They have discovered under 20 feet of the ground approximately $ 22 Billion (6000Cr X 22= Rs 1,32,000 Cr) worth highly valuable gold in the form of, diamond jewelry, golden utensils, weapons, golden idols, golden elephants idols and diamond necklaces having 500 kilograms weight and 18 feet length and bags full of golden coins of different nations, including Napoleon and Italian coins in the last one week. With this Sri Ananth Padmanabh Swamy of Thiruvananthapuram has emerged the richest God on the earth.

Chambers: The temple management authorities were aware of the existence of six vaults. They are situated very close to the middle of the temple on its western side just below where the deity is placed. For documentation purposes, these vaults have been designated as vaults A, B, C, D, E and F. Subsequently, two more vaults have been identified and they have been designated as vaults G and H. Four vaults C, D, E, and F, are in the custody of the temple priests and have been/are opened at least eight times every year and the contents stored in them are routinely taken out for use on special ceremonial occasions.

As per the orders of the Supreme Court of India, a court appointed committee opened the vaults on 30 June 2011 and entered vault A. They unlocked an iron grille and a heavy wooden door, then removed a granite slab from the floor. Beneath, five or six steps led to a small, dark room which stored the treasure. The various items found scattered everywhere, They were not arranged systematically. There were baskets, earthen pots, copper pots, all containing valuable objects. It took about 12 days to carry the treasure outside, and to take an inventory of it.

Vault B has not been opened presumable for centuries. The Supreme Court appointed committee members opened the metal-grille door to Vault B, and discovered a sturdy wooden door just behind it. They opened this door as well, and encountered a third door, made of iron, which was jammed shut. The observers considered forcing their way in, but deemed this improper; they decided to hire a locksmith. Then, in mid-July, before the locksmith came, the royal family got an injunction from the Supreme Court against opening vault B.

Vaults G and H also remain closed for centuries believably as of May 2016, but have been opened in late 1800′s and it also had valuables which have been documented that time. The main vault or the seventh vault is Vault B. The mysterious door of Vault B. The entire world stands now to know whats behind that door. According to experts, the door was supposed to unlock by itself when a secret chant is spelled, as it is believed that the door is locked in that way. It is believed that this chamber is being consider as highly mysterious,sacred and risky by Trust members and other learned astrologers. The steel door of Chamber B is having two big Cobra Portraits on it and this door has no nuts, bolts or even latches. It is just a plain chunk of steel.

It is considered to be fixed to the chamber by using “Naga Bandham” by the then “Siddha Purushas” who lived during the reign of King Marthandavarma. in 16th century. The door to such a vault can only be opened by a highly erudite ‘Sadhus’ who are familiar with the knowledge of extricating “Naga Bandham” by chanting a very sacred and difficult “Garuda Mantra”. According to the legends, if anyone tries to force open this door ,which has “Naga Bandham” on it, then catastrophes are likely to occur throughout the world. Vedic Astrologers of India tried to open the door, but they were unable to open the door by chanting the secret “Garuda Mantra”.

If this mantra is chanted properly by some Sadhu, the automatically opens up without any human effort needed to open it. Adding to the belief that Garuda drives away mighty serpents from our way. As of now, people from other side could listen to the sounds of water or sounds made by snakes as guessed. Till date no one knows what exactly is behind the vault.
