Claim: Video of priests stealing money from donation boxes in a temple.
Fact-check: Video of Sree Guruvayurappan temple's priests collecting money from donation boxes shared with a misleading narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shows the priests of kerala's guruvayurappan temple collecting money from donation boxes as part of their regular customs. an all-time record of rs. 6.86 crores worth of treasure was collected from the bhadaram or donation boxes of guruvayurappan temple this september 2022. the guruvayoor devaswom managing committee administers the donation money received by the guruvayurappan temple. the priests of the temple have no authority over this donation money. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
