The New Indian Express Kochi

EVEN AS gold prices surge to record highs, Kerala's temples continue to glitter with the devotion of followers. Offerings of gold and silver pour in undeterred.

- RAJESH RAVI @Kochi

At the famed Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple, devotees drop precious metals into the hundi (offering box) in astonishing quantities around 20 to 25 kg of gold and 120 to 150 kg of silver every year. The October 2025 collection alone yielded 2.58 kg of gold and 9.31 kg of silver.

The Sabarimala hill shrine, which opens only for three months during the pilgrimage season, receives nearly 15 kg of gold during that short period.
