Vrindavan:Changes have been made in the arrangements amid the increasing number of devotees coming for darshan at Thakur Banke Bihari Temple. Now devotees coming for darshan under VIP protocol will have to use gate number four to enter the temple. After darshan, he will be taken out from gate number one. The new system has been implemented from Sharad Purnima.
Common devotees will get relief
With the increase in the number of devotees in Vrindavan in the month of Kartik, the crowd of visitors to Banke Bihari temple is also likely to increase. In view of this, the high-powered management committee of the temple has made changes in the entry and exit system. Earlier, devotees following VIP protocol were given entry from gate number two. During this time, a part of the railing had to be vacated for VIP darshan, which caused problems to ordinary devotees. An attempt has been made to overcome this problem under the new system.
6 policemen will be deployed for security
Now devotees with VIP protocol will be able to enter the temple from gate number four and directly reach the VIP compartment. After darshan, he will be taken out from gate number one. To maintain the smooth functioning of the system, six policemen deployed for the security of the temple have also been put on duty. These policemen will help in taking the VIP devotees out through the designated exit gate after having darshan.
Service member gave information
Himanshu Goswami, a serving member of the high-powered management committee, said that the number of devotees in the temple is continuously increasing. The crowd is likely to increase further in the month of Kartik. In such a situation, there were difficulties in allowing VIP devotees to enter from gate number two. Keeping in mind the convenience of the devotees, now arrangements have been made for entry from gate number four and exit from gate number one. Its objective is to streamline the darshan system and reduce inconvenience to common devotees.
