  "account": "A Chennai woman donated ₹4 crore to the Ayodhya Ram Temple Trust, intending to fund improvements for temple staff. However, the account linked to the cheque only contained ₹3, and the cheque was returned unpaid. The donor specified that the money should be used solely for employee facilities, but the Trust did not provide this guarantee. The incident is being investigated by the bank, which will contact the donor for clarification. The Ayodhya Ram Mandir Trust typically receives between ₹3 crore and ₹4 crore per month in donations, with cheques accounting for around ₹1 crore to ₹1.5 crore.",
