  "content": "The historic Krishna shrine of Shri Sanwaliya Ji, nestled in the Chittorgarh district of Mewar, has once again shown that there is no measuring the devotion of its followers. When the temple opened its monthly donation box this month and began the count, the figure climbed into the crores in the very first phase itself. The first day's tally alone touched a massive Rs 17 crore 55 lakh, and remarkably, several more rounds of counting and the weighing of gold and silver ornaments are still to come. The number stands as testimony to the unshakeable faith of the lakhs of devotees who come to bow before Sanwaliya Seth.\n\nShri Sanwaliya Seth is known above all for his miraculous reputation, which is why lakhs of pilgrims arrive every single day from every corner of the country. The largest crowds come from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Devotees believe that any wish made at this court is sure to be fulfilled.\n\nA Tradition Of Secret Offerings Fills The Treasury\nFollowers hold that when a wish is granted or a business flourishes, the blessing of Sanwaliya Seth is at work. Driven by this faith, people place secret offerings at the deity's feet according to their wishes and their means. It is this hidden giving that reaches the temple treasury as crores of rupees every month. The temple board opens the donation box each month under a fixed procedure. This time the monthly box was opened exactly one day before Somvati Amavasya, and on the very first day the notes drawn from it were sorted and stacked in an orderly fashion.\n\nCounting Paused On Somvati Amavasya\nWith Somvati Amavasya falling on Monday, a huge wave of worshippers surged into the temple complex. To keep arrangements running smoothly amid such a heavy crowd, the counting of notes was halted for the day. The actual counting of the donations resumed on Tuesday morning under the watch of the administration and the temple board officials. It was in this first phase that the figure reached the record level of Rs 17 crore 55 lakh. According to the temple administration, this is only the first phase, and the remaining large volume of cash from the box will be counted in the second and subsequent rounds.\n\nValuation Of Gold And Silver Still To Come\nThe gold and silver ornaments offered to the deity, along with other precious items, are yet to be weighed. As every phase of counting and the valuation of the ornaments is completed, the figure is widely expected to rise even higher. This treasure of Sanwaliya Seth writes a fresh chapter of devotee faith every month. The temple board uses this large sum, with full transparency, for the development of the temple, social causes and improving facilities for worshippers.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• Across India: For devotees nationwide, the tally shows that offerings at Sanwaliya Seth's court keep setting fresh monthly records, with the money spent on temple development and pilgrim facilities.\n• In Rajasthan: For people in and around Chittorgarh, occasions like Somvati Amavasya draw enormous crowds, so it is wise to plan a temple visit keeping the heavy rush in mind.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1. How much was collected on the first day at Shri Sanwaliya Ji Temple this month?\nThe very first phase of counting revealed donations of Rs 17 crore 55 lakh.\n\n2. Is this the final figure?\nNo, this is only the first phase. Counting of the second and remaining rounds, along with the weighing of gold and silver, is still pending, so the figure is likely to rise further.\n\n3. Why was the counting of notes halted on Monday?\nMonday was Somvati Amavasya, which drew a huge crowd, so counting was paused to keep arrangements smooth and resumed on Tuesday morning.\n\n4. Where is the temple located and where do most devotees come from?\nThe temple is in the Chittorgarh district of Mewar, and the largest numbers of devotees come from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.",
