VSSC Report Finds Gold Shortage in Sabarimala Temple Artefacts; SIT Receives Findings

The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) conducted a scientific analysis of gold-plated artefacts at Kerala's Sabarimala temple, revealing a significant shortage of gold on the Dwarapalaka sculptures, Sreekovil door frames, and other items compared to 1998. The report, submitted to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) and the Kerala High Court, suggests original gold plates may have been replaced with copper replicas. Legal proceedings continue, including custody and bail hearings for key suspects.
