The temple has a total of 11 donation boxes (Hundis). During a routine inspection, officials opened the one placed in front of the Sanctum Sanctorum and were surprised to discover, amid the usual coins and currency notes, original real estate documents set inside. Temple authorities said that the two real estate documents found in the Hundi are for 10 cents of land and a single storey house near the temple. The officials also found a handwritten note with the documents. Milambarasan, the executive of the temple, told Hindu, this is the first time something like this has happened here, “but explained that property documents in a donation box did not legally transfer the ownership to the temple.
