Following Lord Balaji’s lead who got a demat account for himself, thanks to the increasing number of donations in the form of shares, six temples in Madhya Pradesh have decided to do the same for their respective deities.
Lord Balaji who gets around one lakh devotees everyday, is perhaps the first divine deity in the world to have a mortal demat account for himself.
After opening of the demat accounts, the temple’s administrative committee will decide on when to encash the shares. The income generated through this mode will be deposited in the temple’s account.
