| Kerala temple treasure: 1 lac crore and still counting |
| 2011-07-04 12:13:32 |
Thiruvananthapuram: The Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple in Kerala could well be the richest in the country as unofficial estimates on Saturday, the sixth day of preparing an inventory of treasures in its six chambers, suggested the value of its gold, diamond and other precious metals at close to Rs 1 lakh crore.
The inventory of the temple here, maintained by the erstwhile royal family of Travancore, is being made by a seven-member Supreme Court-appointed panel.
The stock-taking process was ordered by the Supreme Court following a petition by advocate T.P. Sundararajan over mismanagement of the temple affairs.
On Monday, ahead of entering the temple chambers for the first time, the committee chairman, retired Kerala High Court judge M.N. Krishnan, said he hoped to finish the entire process by the end of the week.
The temple has a total of six chambers, named A to F by the committee. With chamber B yet to be opened and chamber A's accounting ending Saturday, and two m...

| The World's Best Unspoilt Beaches |
| 2011-03-19 00:32:57 |
East coast Zanzibar
The east coast of Zanzibar isn’t the place to go to for bland, international beach-resort luxury. Although its sandy palm-lined beaches are as idyllic as they come, the east coast offers visitors much more than just pretty beaches.
The seafront is studded with traditional Swahili villages, including Bwejuu (above), Paje and Jambiani, each one smaller and more rustically somnambulant than the one before, making it a great place to experience rural Africa on its own terms.
In keeping with this, accommodation tends to be low rise, low key, low impact and low cost – it’s the ideal place to relax after a costly safari. Look out for the endangered Kirk’s red colobus, a fringed monkey endemic to Zanzibar.
