By Anshul Tewari:

Just how wealthy India’s temples really are has been in the news more often than not. With Padmanabhaswamy temple in Kerala having a treasury of over Rs. 1 lakh crore and Tirupati Balaji coming in a close next, India’s love for God makes us travel miles, and donate from a few rupees to lakhs and crores in the name of goodwill and prosperity.

This animation by Krishna Chandra A. Nair, a student at la Poudriere, school of animation film making takes on what many believe to be the ‘business of temples’ – on what probably happens to the donations that people make.
