A unique auction featuring precious items left behind at the Thiruvananthapuram zoo and museum is set to take place, with forgotten treasures including golden chains, bracelets, and stone-studded rings up for bidding. Approximately 40 grams of 22-carat gold and 146 grams of silver ornaments will be available. The museum and zoo director says the funds garnered by the auction will contribute to the museums' coffers. Expressions of interest can be submitted until September 8. The valuation of each item has been carried out by an appraiser from KSFE to ensure integrity and transparency.
