iPhone falls in tamilnadu temple hundi by mistake administration said it goes into god account

A strange case has come to light in Tamil Nadu. While donating in a temple here, a devotee’s iPhone fell into the donation box of the temple. The phone was accidentally dropped but when the devotee asked for the phone back, the temple administration refused to give it back. The administration said that now this phone belongs to God! But this was not acceptable to the person. Therefore he took the matter further to complain. Then what happened next, let us tell you.

A strange case has come to light in the Arulmigu Kandaswamy temple located in Tiruporur, Tamil Nadu. According to NDTV report, while donating in the temple, a devotee’s phone fell in the donation box of the temple. The man requested the temple administration to return the phone but the administration refused saying that whatever comes in the temple hundi belongs to the God, and that property is then called the property of the deity.

That means the person’s iPhone phone had now become God’s property. The temple administration said that if the devotee wants, he can take the data of the phone but the phone cannot be returned. But the person did not agree to this decision. When the matter reached the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HR and CE) of Tamil Nadu, the department also said that whatever is deposited in the Hundi becomes the property of the temple.

HR&CE Minister PK Shekhar Babu clarified that whatever is offered in the Hundi, whether it is offered voluntarily or by mistake, goes to God’s account. He further said that as per the prevailing temple tradition and rules, any item put in the Hundi cannot be returned. Because it becomes the property of the deity. However, he also said that the matter will be discussed with the department officials, and the possibility of giving compensation to the devotee will be looked into if the need is felt.
