The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple Trust's plea to exempt it from the special audit of 25 years' accounts.
The audit was ordered in a Supreme Court judgment of 2020.
The court held that the audit "was not intended to be confined to the temple but also to the trust". The court said the audit should be completed preferably within three months.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
