After Lord Balaji, Demat Accounts for Six More Temple Deities

After the opening of a demat account, the temple’s administrative committee will decide when to encash the shares.

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.

We are thinking of opening demat accounts in the name of Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar temple, Omkareshwar temple in Khandwa district, Bijasan devi temple at Salkanpur in Sehore district, Maihar devi temple in Satna district, the Khajrana Ganesh temple of Indore and Ram Raja temple at Orchha in Tikamgarh district

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.
