Vault B of Padmanabhaswamy

The account

When the courts opened the temple's vaults, the world gasped: gold by the ton in chambers no one had entered for centuries. One door stayed closed. Tradition says it must not be forced; the Supreme Court, in its way, agreed. The richest unopened room on Earth has a street address.

Leads, where the trail points now

• Where the trail goes cold: Court-ordered inventories in 2011 counted $20B+ in gold and jewels in the other vaults, Vault B's iron door was left shut, by order and by legend. That is where any serious search begins.
• What you are chasing is The last unopened vault of the world's richest temple. Work the documented record of Vault B of Padmanabhaswamy back to primary sources and separate what is attested from folklore before you commit time or money.
