The management of the Thakur Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan has advised devotees to postpone their visits until January 5 due to a significant year-end and New Year's rush. Temple officials cited heavy crowd pressure and potential safety concerns in the narrow lanes and temple premises. Authorities have implemented traffic restrictions, banning heavy vehicles and managing e-rickshaw movement. Similar crowd management measures are being observed in other popular temple towns like Khatu Shyam and Ayodhya, with some temples canceling VIP darshan to ensure smoother access for all devotees.
