Dear  SrI Nanganallur  Venkatesh:

Thanks very much for your thoughtful note.

Yours is a  good idea . The practical implementation
of it on ground by us will be very difficult unless we 
happen to live at these dhivya  Desams .

Once the Abharanam is presented , there is a  formal
process of the executive Officer of the temple and trustees
accepting it and signing off on it. After that we transfer
the responsibility of protection and maintenance of the aabharaNam 
to them .This has  worked out at  Oppiliappan Koil and 
SrIvilliputthUr. Tens of thousands of bhakthAs come for
the RathnAngi, Mutthangi Sevais at Oppiliappan Koil  so much
so that the temple has established rathnAngi Sevai "on demand"
by  BhakthAs on payment of Rs.1,000 . Temple authorities
are clever on these matters. Hence they wont let anything
happen to these precious aabharaNams. 

On "Dharma  Sevai " days when the Lord adorns 
RathnAngi at  Oppiliappan Koil (SravaNam days Or 
some other days) , I am told that the queue by
sevArthis stretches for quite some  distance outside 
the temple. 


Our duty at special sannidhis like the one at ThiruvahIndhrapuram 
dear to Swamy  Desikan is to present the RathnAngi and get 
a public  document of acknowkledgement from the Trustees/
Officers and monitor from then on about their safe handling.
This practise is working at Oppiliappan Koil. 
At  ThiruvahIndhrapuram , the archaka community is 
accepting this responsibility. 

Hope I have responded to your question to the best  I can.
