Yes, dear @Ewaade_3A ,

Hope you might have heard about the famous "The Padmanabha Swamy temple" of Trivandrum, Kerala. The wealth of this temple which was the private property of Travancore Maharajas goes above USD 22 Billion (Many believe it is much more than double - Wiki: “This revelation has solidified the status of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple as the wealthiest place of worship in the world.”) after opening 5 vaults out 6 - still, the 6th, believed to be more wealthy could not be opened. And when the King come to pray here, they wipe their LEG, so that they don’t take even the SAND particle to their palace.

What I am meaning to say here is that many/most of the Indian Rajas & Maharajas had great respect for their people & their believing deities.

Due to their contributions, ancient India contained this awesome heritage value!!!

Thanks, my friend @DebadattaMeher for this brief, but beautiful post.
