Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: journalism reporting an estimate that other coverage of the same event explicitly cautions is unofficial, not an audited or court-certified figure. NotesThe origin of the one trillion rupee, roughly 22 billion dollar figure that circulates for this temple's vaults. Carried as an estimate rather than a certified valuation, since no audited or court-certified total exists; other coverage of the same 2011 inventory explicitly cautions that figures this size, repeated widely online, are unofficial.
