The Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Travancore Royal family for the administration and control of the Padmanabha Swamy temple in Kerala. Settling the nine-year-long dispute, the top court overtuned the January 2011 judgment of the Kerala high court which had ruled that the state government should take over the control of the temple from a trust headed by the royal family.

“Great God’s will prevailed. Will say more about it after going through whole verdict, said Princess Gowri Lakshmibai of the erstwhile Travancore royal family soon after the judgement.

The temple located in the state capital of Thirvunanthapuram shot into limelight after the Supreme Court in May 2011 ordered a detailed inventory of the articles in the temple vaults which had long rumoured to be holding immense riches.
