Tirupati: RFID tagging to protect temple jewellery

During his inspection at the Govindaraja Swamy temple on Monday, he said that this technology will help prevent thefts in shrines.

Tirupati: The jewels of Lord Govindaraja Swamy in Tirupati would be protected with Radio Frequency Identity Device (RFID) security on an experimental basis, said TTD JEO B. Lakshmi Kantham.

During his inspection at the Govindaraja Swamy temple on Monday, he said that this technology will help prevent thefts in shrines. “Sensor chips will be arranged to jewels and if anybody tries to steal them, they will be caught red-handed.” This security is being provided at the temple on the advice of Agama experts and later, it will be extended to other temples.
