The hundi with gold-plated sheets on all four sides was closed with a granite stone.

The incident came to light when one of the six security guards posted for night duty discovered the open hundi on Thursday morning.

Once in three months the temple authorities open the hundi and deposit the cash in bank. The hundi will have collections worth about 3 to 5 lakh every three months.
