Overview

  • Temple staff discovered original documents for 10 cents of land and a single-storey house valued at Rs4 crore in a donation box during a June 24 counting.
  • S Vijayan said he made the gift after his daughters repeatedly insulted him over inheritance disputes.
  • The veteran attached a handwritten note to confirm his intent to transfer ownership of the properties to the shrine he has worshipped at since childhood.
  • M Silambarasan, the temple’s executive officer, said legal ownership requires Vijayan to register the donation with the state HR&CE department.
  • The HR&CE department now holds the property deeds and will oversee the formal transfer process.
