Guruvayoor Sree Krishna temple and Sabarimal Ayyappan Temple are too richest temple in the India.
In 2008, Last season (November to January), close to four crore (40 million) pilgrims arrived and at the end of the season (end of jan 2009)number would cross 4.50 crore (45 million).
Revenue already 100 crore over by cash and unlimited gold. This income is not 12 month income. This is only 3 months income. There is a custome that each devotee will carry Kaaniponnu(gold) to sabarimala. So we cannot calculate howmuch Kilogram gold ? 4.50 crore devotees can carry ?:)
Guruvayoor Temple is the second richest temple in india after Thirumala Temple. There annual revenue is above 100 Crore by cash.
