What really lies in "Vault B" in the "Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple" in Kerala, India?...
And what will happen, when the door is "finally" opened?
Has the FINAL "cast iron door" with the "engraving of the large cobra" on it, already been opened?
There seems to be some confusion about that... We do know for sure, that all other doors and chambers, leading up to it, has been opened... But, some reports indicate the FINAL door, won't budge...
IF... it has been opened... It seems that no one will discuss, what has been found inside...
Is there Treasure, Artifacts, Historical Records... and possibly a UFO and other Alien Technology inside?
And what will happen when the door is (finally?) opened (again?)?
An Attack By Snakes?
A Curse Of "Troubles"?
An Attack By "God"?
Being Drowned By The Sudden Flow Of The "Arabian Sea"?
I know we are all curious to know what secrets that "Vault B" holds, But, when mankind discovers a way to open the final door...
Should mankind even open it?
What are your thoughts on the mysterious "Vault B"?
Personally, I am not sure what to think...
This vault is obviously different than the others, and whoever created it, didn't want people going in there...
And so, I don't think it contains the same kind of treasures, that the other vaults had...
That means it's either more valuable... or something far more dangerous, Either in knowledge or something else...
I say, we should hold off for now... Until we can find a way to use technology, something LIKE: "ground penetrating radar", to see what is behind the door.
And what will happen, when the door is "finally" opened?
Vault (Kallara) B, the forbidden zone
The Bhagavata Purana says that Lord Balarama visited Phalgunam (more commonly known as Thiruvananthapuram), took bath in Panchapsaras (Padmateertham) and made a gift of ten thousand cows to holy men. Though the sannidhyam of Lord Padmanabha has always been present in the holy land of Thiruvananthapuram making it a pilgrim spot even during the time of Balarama, the present-day Temple for the Lord came up later. The southwest part of the Chuttambalam was constructed at the holy spot where Lord Balarama is believed to have donated cows to holy men. This portion came to be known as Mahabharatakonam and covered the ground underneath which both Kallara B and Kallara A were situated.
According to a popular legend, many Devas and Sages devoted to Lord Balarama visited Him on the banks of Padmateertham. They requested Him that they may be permitted to reside there worshipping the Lord. Balarama granted them their wish. It is believed that these Devas and Sages reside in Kallara B worshipping the Lord. Naga Devathas devoted to the Lord also dwell in this Kallara. Kanjirottu Yakshi, whose enchanting and ferocious forms are painted on the south-west part of the main Sanctum, resides in this Kallara worshipping Lord Narasimha. Holy objects like Sreechakram were installed beneath this Kallara to enhance the potency of the Principal Deity. Lord Ugra Narasimha of Thekkedom is said to be the Protector of Kallara B.
There is a serpent's image on Kallara B indicating danger to anyone who opens it. A four-day Ashtamangala Devaprasnam conducted in August 2011 declared Kallara B as "forbidden zone". In 2011, the antechamber to Kallara B was opened by the Observers appointed by the Supreme Court of India. But the Observers could not open Kallara B.
However, Gopal Subramanium in his report submitted to the Supreme Court in April 2014, recommended its opening after conducting another Devaprasnam. The two Pushpanjali Swamiyars are the highest spiritual dignitaries of Padmanabha Swamy Temple. The Pushpanjali Swamiyar of Naduvil Madhom sent letters to the Chairperson of the Administrative Committee and the Executive Officer on February 8, 2016 expressing his strong opposition to the opening of Kallara B. The Pushpanjali Swamiyar of Munchira Madhom led a Ratha Yathra from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram in May 2018 campaigning against opening the sacred Kallara. Azhvanchery Thamprakkal, the supreme spiritual leader of Kerala Brahmins, while addressing a meeting held in connection with the Ratha Yathra also demanded that faith should not be trampled upon by opening Kallara B.
According to folklore, Padmanabhan Thampi, arch rival of Anizhom Thirunal Marthanda Varma, marched to Thiruvananthapuram with his forces and tried to loot the vaults of the Temple. Thampi stayed at Sri Varaham and sent his mercenaries to Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple. It is said that divine serpents materialised in hundreds and scared away Thampi's men. Emboldened by this heavenly intervention, Pallichal Pillai and local people opposed Padmanabhan Thampi and ensured that the mercenaries did not proceed with the misadventure.
It is highly unlikely that Kallara B was opened after the 1880s. An article by Emily Gilchrist, a visiting Englishwoman in the 1933, recalls in her book 'Travancore: A Guide Book for the Visitor' (Oxford University Press, 1933) about an unsuccessful attempt to open one Kallara in 1908: "About 25 years ago, when the State needed additional money, it was thought expedient to open these chests and use the wealth they contained." "A group of people" got together and attempted to enter the vaults with torches. When they found the vaults "infested with cobras" they "fled for their lives.
According to a report by former Comptroller and Auditor General of India Vinod Rai, Kallara B has been opened a number of times in recent decades: twice in 1991 and five times in 2002. Once Vinod Rai's report was out, Princess Aswathi Thirunal Gowri Lakshmi Bayi clarified that Mr Rai was referring to the antechamber to Kallara B, which was opened even in 2011 by the Supreme Court-appointed observers

The temple contains six vaults built under the sanctum sanctorum. While five of the six vaults have been opened, Vault-B, the secret vault remains unopened, opposed by the royal family on the grounds that opening the vault would invite God’s anger.
It was in July 2011 -after Rai’s first report- that the outside world came to know of the existence of six vaults out of which five purportedly housed more than Rs 100,000 crores treasure. Of the six, vault B still remains shrouded in secrecy. The Travancore Royal family had staunchly opposed the opening of this vault that is rumored to house many treasures.
Though it was presumed to be unopened till then, but Rai had cited temple records to show that vault B had been opened twice in 1990 and five times in 2002.
The legends and superstitious myths surrounding the opening of the B vault in the temple had resurfaced at that time with a vengeance, a few of which are mentioned here:
The Curse
The first ruling by the Supreme Court to assess the wealth of the temple came after advocate TP Sunder Rajan had filed a writ petition in a Kerala court. Sunder Rajan passed away in July 2011.The unexpected death of Sunder Rajan was held by many as a divine backlash. Many believed that opening the vault without the prescribed puja would invoke the curse.
With the death of the mother of one of the observers and another observer injuring his leg, the rumours were further reinforced. Elderly residents living in and around the temple also recalled having heard stories of how opening the B-vault would trigger a flood as per the Ocean theory.
Snake God Theory
Most of the superstitious beliefs that surround the B-vault stem from the engravings on the door of the vault that resembles a large cobra who is said to represent the place of recline of the temple deity Lord Vishnu.
Stories hence abound of how the door is protected by the snake-god, and can only be opened by sadhus chanting the ‘Garuda Mantra’, the only hitch being there was no such sadhu in India. If the vault was opened using man-made techniques, it would lead to catastrophes, Hindu mythology experts had felt.
Ocean Theory
About a century ago, faced with a severe famine, temple officials had tried to break open the chamber, but stopped on hearing what sounded like rushing water. The story went on how the vault was connected to the Arabian Sea, and once it is opened, the sea would flood the entire city.
Vaasthu
“’It is ideal that we keep the B vault locked. The treasures stored in that vault that is located below the deity’s head are protected by taming of micro-natural forces by tantric experts for ensuring its safe upkeep. If anyone dares to open that vault, it would trigger off a series of troubles”, Vaasthu expert K Muraleedharan Nair had then opined.

Before entering Vault B, a team had to pry open a massive cast iron door, that had no latch upon it. Vault B, never had any written or oral records ever being opened before. The only known method of opening the vault was documented by religion.
Comparably, it would be the equivalent of someone saying “Open Sesame”. Throughout time, the chant was lost by the Royal Family and no shrine priests claimed to know the mantra either.
Perhaps, the discovery presented more than what was bargained for, while opening all of the vaults inside the Thiruvananthapuram’s Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, monetary wealth and the alleged extraterrestrial UFO ship discoveries, remain the biggest finds so far. Perhaps someone out there, knows more about what was kept hidden from the public. Some feel the wealth should be rightfully used, to help the citizens of the country in their times of need.
