Mathura, Dec 26 The management of Shri Banke Bihari Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Vrindavan has asked devotees to follow all the Covid protocols and wear masks while visiting the temple.

Those suffering from fever, cold, cough, asthma and allergies have been advised to avoid visiting the temple in view of new cases.

"Devotees coming to the temple for 'darshan' should wear masks and ensure compliance with guidelines of the health department and advisory issued by it. An appeal has also been made not to bring elderly people above 60 years of age, children and sick devotees for 'darshan'.”
