It is a custom for Indians to store treasures in temples. At the same time, these treasures are not secretly hidden somewhere, at least those who are responsible for the temples know about it.
For example, the Indian temple treasure that Leonard Ethan had heard of in his previous life happened in Karala State. In 2001, a former intelligence officer named Sundara-Larong, who had served during Indira Gandhi's government, settled near the Padma Nabha Swami Temple after retirement.
As a devout Hindu, Sundara-Larong, in his seventies, insisted on praying in the temple at 2 am every day, lasting for 8 hours, and during this time, he conducted a search.
In 2009, Sundara-Larong found that the security maintenance of the temple was not enough, so he complained to the Karala State High Court, requesting that the government should take back the management of the temple and be responsible for disposing of temple property and preventing theft.
