In Mathura, the high-level management committee of Banke Bihari Temple has extended the darshan timings by three hours to accommodate the growing number of devotees visiting the shrine. This decision comes as the temple experiences heavy footfall, especially during festivals and weekends, ensuring devotees have more time for worship without crowding. Authorities have implemented additional crowd management measures to maintain order, with security personnel positioned to guide devotees safely. The extended schedule aims to provide a smoother and more comfortable darshan experience, allowing people from distant places to visit without facing long waiting periods. Devotees have welcomed the move, noting that the extended hours will help them perform their rituals in a peaceful and unhurried manner. Temple officials emphasized that this adjustment is part of ongoing efforts to improve the overall management and spiritual experience at one of India’s most visited religious sites.
