Overview
- Sewa Sansthan secretary Kapil Sharma told PTI on Friday that the temple will introduce a computerised tester that can detect the presence and purity of 20 metals and is slated to become operational from Navratri on October 11.
- The machine performs non‑destructive analysis so donated items need not be broken or altered to establish their metal content.
- Donors will be present while their offering is tested, will receive and sign a copy of the test report that includes their mobile number, and the trust will preserve a copy in its archives.
- All metal donations collected through hundis and donation boxes will be tested during the counting process under CCTV surveillance with workers, security staff and independent observers present, and recordings retained for six months.
- The move builds on earlier transparency steps at the Sri Krishna Janmasthan and aims to strengthen donor trust by creating a documented, traceable record of metal offerings that can be used for future checks and audits.
