THE TREASURE There are six underground vaults below this temple and four of them are opened occasionally for maintaining rituals and for taking our precious objects meant for rituals. Among the six kallaras or chambers in the Temple, Bharatakkon Kallara (Chamber B) is very closely associated with Sri Padmanabhaswamy. It is not a part of the Temple Treasury. The holy Chamber houses a Srichakram, an idol of Sri Padmanabha and many valuables meant to enhance the potency of the Principal Deity. It has in it the presence of many Bhagwans and sages worshipping the Bhagwan. Kanjirottu Yakshi also resides in the Chamber worshipping Bhagwan Narasimha. The enchanting and ferocious forms of this Yakshi are painted on the south-west part of the main Sanctum.
