Misplaced something during darshan, or found an item that isn't yours? The temple's Enquiry Office at Lower Ahobilam handles lost and found reports for all visitors — here's how it works.
Visit or call the Enquiry Office at Lower Ahobilam as soon as you notice something is missing.
Describe the item, where you last had it, and roughly when — the more detail, the easier it is to match.
Staff will check the day's found-item register and any items handed in from your area.
If it isn't found immediately, leave your contact details — the office will reach out if it turns up.
Bring valid photo ID when you return to collect a matched item.
Hand the item to the nearest temple volunteer, security staff, or the Enquiry Office directly.
Let staff know roughly where and when you found it, so it can be logged accurately.
You'll usually be given an acknowledgment slip confirming the handover.
The item is logged in the found-item register and held for the owner to claim with ID.
Please avoid handling or opening bags, purses, or phones — hand them in as found.
For the fastest response, especially during festivals or busy weekends, call the Enquiry Office directly. You can also send details through the form below and our team will follow up.
The Enquiry Office at Lower Ahobilam is the fastest way to report or recover a lost item, especially on busy days when items are matched to their owners quickly on the spot.
Footwear racks get crowded during peak darshan — a small mark or bag helps you spot yours quickly.
Keep phones and glasses in a zipped bag rather than a hand or open pocket — monkeys near the temple are known to snatch loose items.
If travelling as a family or group, decide on a meeting spot in advance in case anyone gets separated in the crowd.
