In a unique twist to Janmashtami celebrations, Operation Sindoor unfolded in Mathura's Keshavdev temple, where Lord Krishna was enshrined in a 'sindoor' bungalow. The event, marking the 5252nd birth anniversary of Lord Krishna, drew significant attention and reverence.
Kapil Sharma, secretary of Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust, explained that Operation Sindoor allowed devotees a chance to see Lord Krishna adorned with the Sudarshan Chakra. Festivities were further enriched at Bhagwat Bhawan and Vrindavan's Radha Raman temple, emphasizing cultural traditions.
Managing the influx of devotees, officials at Thakur Bankebihari Temple in Vrindavan implemented a high court directive, permitting only 500 individuals during the Mangala Aarti to avoid overcrowding and ensure safety.
