Travancore Empire was one of the richest Empires in India. It extended 900 year of rule. It had accumulated wealth through trade with European Nations. The European Christian missionaries back then used to act as spies, taking valuable information from local society so the European empires can use it to their advantage. Travancore was situated at the cost and was vulnerable to attacks via sea. So it was logical to bury all the secret stuffs in places like temples where missionaries were not welcome.

The story is lost - but it is extremely old. On the other hand, another famous temple from Kerala - Guruvayur Temple at the north of Kochi - has a beautiful story, to be told another time!
