According to the most of theorists and history books , this was made by the kings of Travancore and this is also described in the holy books of 9th century .

ⅱ ) The purpose to make temple 

So according to the most of theories ,   Marthanda Varma remade the temple in 1750 . According to the most of the theories , the Ancestors of Travancore once found a statue of lord Vishnu in a sleeping position . This position of lord Vishnu was called Padmanabh and because of this , the temple got the name of  Padmanabhaswamy temple and also this caused the  Padmanabhaswamy temple door . Since than , the ancestors of Travancore are managing and ruing the temple . But recently , The supreme court of India gave a decision to end the rule of Travancore descendants on the temple but again , on 13 July 2020 , the state court of Kerala changed the decision and again gave the rule in the hands of Travancore . Basically this temple comes in the Thiruvananthapuram district of the Kerala state .

4. The very first Attempt

So as I already told you that 3 attempts have been done to open the chambers of the temple . SO now we will discuss about the very first attempt and the disaster that happened during this .

Basically , people were being sure with the time that there is definitely a treasure in these chambers . On this , they decided to open these chambers in 1908 . SO when they tried to do so , suddenly they were attacked by a group of Cobra snakes and they had to cancel the plan . 

 Padmanabhaswamy temple door

Nobody knows that  where did they Cobra snakes come from but anyway , they stopped the people to open the chamber .

After this failure , People did not tried to open the doors again and the reason was some superstitions and the fear of god . Thus the first attempt to open the chambers and Padmanabhaswamy temple door got unsuccessful badly .

Now let's talk about the second attempt -

5. The second attempt

Basically , this was almost same with first one . As I already told you that there were three attempts to open Padmanabhaswamy temple door . This was the second one . After 23 years of the first one , in 1931 , people gathered again and decided to open the door . And this time , there were no group of Cobra snakes or any other type of trouble .

But still , they opened only one door and they found the gold of crores rupees in it . Thus the estimate of having a treasure inside the chamber proved right . But did you noticed  they I am talking about only one chamber , not others . This is so because it was really happened  that they did not open any other door except the first . This is still a mystery that why did they do so ? Did they faced any other kind of trouble ? nobody can answer these questions .

But some theorists say that the people who opened the door were shocked by the amount of gold in the chamber and they feel satisfied with this and did not even tried to open the others .

While some theorists say that the priests and devotees refused them to do so . Because the things found inside were considered divine and holy . So these should not come in the touch of a human : this thing made them stop to open the others . And because of this , they also closed the first opened chamber . But nobody can say that what exactly happened that day . Anyway , let's talk about the third attempt .

When they reached the temple , they did not faced any kind of trouble and finally , as everybody expected : they successfully opened the 5 out of 6 chambers . But still they were unable to open the last chamber named by 

  'Vault - B' . We will talk in the next point about this . First , talk about what they found in those 5 chambers .

So when they opened the 5 Padmanabhaswamy temple door or chambers , they were wondered after watching the view . They saw that there were thousands of golden coins in some boxes , there were some ancient statues inside the chambers . This all was very worthy and it's price was in trillions . After all the calculations : this all treasure declared of 2 lakh crores rupees . And this shocked all the Indians . But what about the last Padmanabhaswamy temple door , why did they not open it ? So I will answer your this question in the next topic . So let's discuss 

7. The last Padmanabhaswamy temple door 

As I told you that officials opened all the doors except the last one . The reason to not open this was devotees . When they came to know that all the chambers are being opened by officials , they appealed in court to stop them because devotees and priests did not want the last door opened . Because they claimed that they did a process named by 'Devaprasnam' . In this , they asked the god himself that what he want and then they got the answer to not to open the last door . Even the priests who completed this process were saying that the opening of this door will cause a holocaust . So the officials decided to not to open the last door against the wishes of devotees . So this was the reason that why did they not open the last door , now we will talk about some qualities and mysteries of the last Padmanabhaswamy temple door . 

 Padmanabhaswamy temple door

ⅰ ) Qualities of the last door 

This door was very different than the others because there were some qualities that others did not have . 

There were two metal snakes on the door of the chamber that shows that they are the guards of the chamber . This also shows that if someone tried to open this door , then the very first incident may happen and that was the attack of snakes . 

The second quality will blow your mind because This makes this door different than others . So the fact is that there was no hole to put key to open the door or there were no pattern or circles to open the door . This door was completely sealed . On this , priests says that this is the most special door and if someone tried to open this door , he must will be a prey of disaster . So nobody knows that how will this door be opened . Should they open this Padmanabhaswamy temple door , let me know through the comment section . According to the local priests , there is a specific code or Mantra to open this door .

ⅱ ) Who can open the chamber

According to the priests , this door can not be opened only by saying the Mantra , so this can not be opened by any random person . There are also some qualities that a person should have to open this door by Mantra . He should be completely holy and vegetarian . He should not be addicted to anything . And the most important : he must have a powerful meditation stamina to open this last Padmanabhaswamy temple door . And it is completely impossible to find such a person in this organic time . So indirectly they want to say that Only Avatar of god like lord Rama can open this door . So this is made for being opened by the god himself . 

What do you think , should we try to open this last Padmanabhaswamy temple door or should leave it free , let me know through comment section .

7. Conclusion

Basically , this all is made by our ancestors . So we should treat this temple and the treasure found in it as a gift of our ancestors or God . May be they saved this all worth for a future disaster or a very tough time for the country . We should not use it in vain . We should save it for the tough time of life . And may be , we also will have to open the last Padmanabhaswamy temple door in future disaster . Then we will be thankful to our ancestors for this worthy gift .
