Also, in accordance with the public sentiments, this time the resolution of the birth anniversary is to ‘regain the ancient glory and form of Sri Krishna’s birthplace’. If seen, this is the time when the people of Mathura and millions of devotees of Lord Sri Krishna spread across the world have only one wish in their hearts that just as Lord Ram’s Pran-Pratishtha has been done in the grand and divine temple in Ayodhya, in the same way, the Pran Pratishtha of his idol should be completed in the grand temple of Lord Sri Krishna in Mathura too.
Let us tell you that the temple administration has appealed to the devotees that the district administration has made arrangements for shoe racks and luggage racks on all the connecting roads of the birthplace, so they should leave their shoes, slippers, bags etc. at the place of stay, because entry to Shri Krishna Janmasthan will be from the northern gate located in Govind Nagar and exit will be from the eastern i.e. main gate.
