Ayodhya's Ram Temple Trust received a cheque for Rs 4 crore from a woman devotee in Chennai for the construction of facilities at the temple. However, the cheque bounced as the bank discovered that the account only had Rs 3. The woman reportedly wanted the donation to be used specifically for improving staff facilities at the temple.
Despite her request for a written assurance that the amount would be used exclusively for this purpose, the Trust did not provide one. Discussions are now underway to resolve the issue, with the Trust awaiting a notice from the bank seeking an explanation for the bounced cheque. The incident has raised questions about the handling of large donations to the temple, which received around Rs 3,500 crore during the 2020 Nidhi Samarpan Abhiyan.
