The world-class Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan is getting especially ready to handle the flood of pilgrims on the holy Janmashtami.
Janmashtami special plans at Banke Bihari Temple
Millions of people visit Mathura annually to honor Lord Krishna’s birth. The temple management has announced adjustments in the opening hours this year and instituted extra steps to control the attendance and guarantee devotee safety.
Temple Timings to be Adjusted
This Janmashtami, the Banke Bihari Temple is projected to see a huge number of pilgrims, following the historical trend of a few years. Every day visitors to the shrine seek the blessings of Thakur Ji. Recently, on August 5, a review petition on the Banke Bihari Corridor was heard; the High Court ordered government response on crowd control for Janmashtami. The government has responded with a thorough plan including various important methods to control the crowd and enable simple darshan for every devotee.
Darshan Hours Extended
The temple management has decided to prolong the darshan hours in order to handle the rising attendance of devotees. The darshan is accessible for about 8.5 hours in both morning and evening shifts right now. The plan is to stretch this out to twelve hours, therefore enabling more people to have a quiet darshan of Lord Krishna.
Crowd Management Measures
The temple and municipal government have taken many steps to properly control the throng. These cover parking space layout, shoe storage places, and well signposted entry and exit gates. Just about 500 people would be let inside the temple grounds during the Mangala Aarti. Other devotees will be progressively let inside the shrine following the Aarti. To relieve crowd pressure and guarantee seamless flow, separate paths of access and exit have been set.
Online Darshan for Devotees
The management has given those who cannot physically attend the temple the choice of online darshan. Devotees may see the heavenly birth of Lord Krishna from anywhere by means of live streaming on the temple website and social media channels. On this auspicious festival of Janmashtami, the particular festivities and preparations of Banke Bihari Temple provide a unique spiritual experience. Devotees are advised to follow the policies set by the government and celebrate the holiday in discipline and peace.
