An FIR was later lodged in Sarankul police station.
The CCTV camera installed on the temple premises has captured images of two unidentified youths near the hundi, sources added.
Since the temple authorities had not opened the hundi for more than a year, it is estimated that it had cash worth over lakhs of rupees.
Police has begun investigation into the incident.
