The mysterious door of the ancient Padmanabhaswamy temple is protected by two massive cobras painted on it and has no bolts, latches or any other means of entry. It is said to house unimaginable wealth, and can only be entered by a high level ‘SADHUS’ familiar with the knowledge of chanting a ‘GARUDA MANTRA’.
It is believed that the door—which has no bolts, latches or any other means of entry—was sealed shut by sound waves from a secret chant lost in time.
Hindu priests say that at present, there is no human capable of opening this door by executing these chants.
