The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department has decided to deposit around 2,000 kg gold in nationalised banks and will use the interest for maintenance of temples, Minister of the Department P.K. Sekarbabu said. “Temples are getting jewels as offerings from devotees and some of them have not been used for the last 10 years. Now the Chief Minister, in a review meeting, advised us to make use of the precious metal to generate revenue for the temples,” Mr. Sekarbabu told The Hindu. He explained big temples in the State were already maintaining gold deposits and getting interest, besides money deposits.More Related News
