Supreme Court Orders Transparent Donation System at Bankey Bihari Temple in Vrindavan
The Supreme Court directed the management committee of Vrindavan's Shri Bankey Bihari Temple to implement a transparent system ensuring all donations are deposited directly into the temple treasury via donation boxes or online. The court emphasized that no sevayats or associated persons may appropriate funds before they reach the deity's account and warned that any obstruction will be taken seriously. This follows allegations of siphoning of temple donations, with the court calling for accountability and an audit trail to prevent misuse.
