Mathura Temple to Use Computerized Machine for Metal Donation Purity Testing
The Sri Krishna Janmasthan Sewa Sansthan in Mathura will introduce a computerized machine from October 11 to test the purity of metal donations without damaging them. Donors will receive a signed purity report alongside their donation receipt, with copies archived by the temple. All metal donations collected in hundis will be tested under CCTV surveillance during counting, which is conducted in the presence of staff, security, and independent observers. CCTV recordings are preserved for six months to enhance transparency.
