I have never been to Sri Anantha Padmanaphasamy temple in Trivandrum, Kerala but I have always been enamoured by the temples of Kerela. I have visited some of the other famous temples and really been mesmerized by the ambiance and the way the temple custodians go out of the way to maintain the decorum and enforce temple rules. That said the reason I'm blogging is because of the interesting breaking news about the treasure trove found at Sri Anantha Padmanaphasamy temple ($ 22 bn by one estimate).

There has been some awareness and some political movement recently against corruption (like Anna Hazare's protest and Baba Ramdev's fast) though all this helped in highlighting corruption in the media and our dinner table conversations but it is very disheartening...
