In Vrindavan, the small lanes leading to the famous Banke Bihari temple, known as Kunj Galis, are getting a makeover! The government got permission from the court to build a corridor around the temple, and things are starting to happen.
The Plan in Motion 🚀
The Uttar Pradesh government has given the green light for a big project called the Banke Bihari Corridor. The officials have finished checking the area and marking places that need changes. Now, they're waiting for the government to say, "Let's go!"
Why the Change? 🤔
The court agreed to the plan on November 20, mentioning some important rules. They want to make sure the temple area is well managed and safe for everyone. The government got the okay to use money from the temple's account for the changes, but not all of it.
What's Coming Up? 🏗️
Imagine the Banke Bihari Corridor like a mix of old and new, similar to a famous corridor in Varanasi. It's going to be a big project, and they've already figured out what it might look like. The idea is to make room for more people and make the temple surroundings better.
Changes on the Way 🔄
The plan includes making the roads near the temple wider so more people can visit at once. The officials want to create a two-story area near the temple with shops, medical help, and space for people waiting. They're also thinking of planting lots of trees from the time when Krishna lived.
A Greener, Serene Space 🌳
The corridor won't just be concrete; it's going to be full of greenery. Trees like parijat, kadam, banyan, and peepal will make it a peaceful place for visitors.
More Visitors Expected! 🌍
Vrindavan is already a popular place, and after the changes, officials think even more people will come—maybe over 20 crore! That's a lot more than the 1.7 crore visitors in 2022.
Connecting Places! 🛣️
The government also has plans to link a new expressway to Vrindavan and a heritage city. This means people from the heritage city can easily reach Vrindavan.
So, get ready for a fresh and improved path to the Banke Bihari temple! 🌺
