Udupi Seer withholds comments on Ram Mandir financial allegations

The Deccan Herald has reported that a prominent Udupi Pejawar seer has refused to comment on allegations that the Ayodhya Ram Mandir’s financial operations may have been irregular.

Known for his guidance to devotees and his long‑standing involvement in temple administration, the seer emerged as a pivotal figure in the district’s religious community. The accusations, which surfaced last year, suggest that funds raised during the major reconstruction of the temple may have been misappropriated. While no formal investigation has yet been launched, activists and local leaders have urged transparency to maintain the community’s trust.

His silence has led to increased pressure from NGOs, religious groups and state officials for a public statement or formal inquiry. The seer maintains that “truth will eventually surface,” yet critics worry that the lack of a response may fuel doubts among devotees and threaten future fundraising for temple‑related charitable activities.
