New Delhi: Offfice bearers of Sai Baba temple in Shirdi were struck with surprise when they found two diamond necklaces in the donation box, wrapped in a packet.


According to PTI, the diamond necklaces had been left in the donation box sometime last financial year.

Donations of such large value are usually made directly to the trustees of temple because there is chance that they might get misplaced but an unidentified devotee has left it as donation in the box..

Executive officer of the temple trust, Bajirao Shinde, said the pendants has two diamonds, one of 6.67 carats and another of 1.5 carats.

Valuers engaged by the trust estimated its value to be around Rs 90 lakh.
