Padmanabhaswamy Vault B: Where History Meets Sacred Prohibition

The second treasure bunker, Vault B, at Kerala’s Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple has never been opened. While other vaults were opened and inventoried, this chamber remains sealed amid objections from the Travancore royal family. They cite curse beliefs based on Ashta Mangala Devaprasnam, and a 2020 Supreme Court order barred opening it, so it remains shut.
