4. The very first Attempt
So as I already told you that 3 attempts have been done to open the chambers of the temple . SO now we will discuss about the very first attempt and the disaster that happened during this .

Nobody knows that where did they Cobra snakes come from but anyway , they stopped the people to open the chamber .
After this failure , People did not tried to open the doors again and the reason was some superstitions and the fear of god . Thus the first attempt to open the chambers and Padmanabhaswamy temple door got unsuccessful badly .
Now let’s talk about the second attempt -
5. The second attempt
Basically , this was almost same with first one . As I already told you that there were three attempts to open Padmanabhaswamy temple door . This was the second one . After 23 years of the first one , in 1931 , people gathered again and decided to open the door . And this time , there were no group of Cobra snakes or any other type of trouble .
But still , they opened only one door and they found the gold of crores rupees in it . Thus the estimate of having a treasure inside the chamber proved right . But did you noticed they I am talking about only one chamber , not others . This is so because it was really happened that they did not open any other door except the first . This is still a mystery that why did they do so ? Did they faced any other kind of trouble ? nobody can answer these questions .
But some theorists say that the people who opened the door were shocked by the amount of gold in the chamber and they feel satisfied with this and did not even tried to open the others .
While some theorists say that the priests and devotees refused them to do so . Because the things found inside were considered divine and holy . So these should not come in the touch of a human : this thing made them stop to open the others . And because of this , they also closed the first opened chamber . But nobody can say that what exactly happened that day . Anyway , let’s talk about the third attempt .
