Sabarimala temple panels' gold plating row gets murkier

October 04, 2025

PUSHED to a corner after its vigilance wing recovered documents revealing gross irregularities and mismanagement in the gold covering of the sanctum at Sabarimala temple, the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) has decided to approach the High Court seeking a comprehensive investigation under its supervision into the entire episode since 1999.

As per uncovered documents, the dwarapalaka idols were among the properties that were layered with gold in 1999.

However, when the plates covering the idols were sent for maintenance in 2019, the entries in the register did not mention any gold. They say 14 copper panels were sent for repair.
