KRISHNAGAR, 5 JULY:  After nearly 90 days of closure  people will again get the opportunity to have darshan  and worship Sri Sri Radha Madhava, as the much anticipated  gates of ISKCON  Chandradaya temple, Mayapur, world headquarter of the institution, have been opened for devotees, pilgrims and visitors from today and onwards. 
However to implement precautionary measures few restrictions have been imposed.
The timings of  darshan will be only between 9 am to 7pm. All visitors will have to enter from the main gate and Gammon gate where each vehicle will be sanitised, followed by screening of the visitors and then the visitor will be sanitised before entering the temple campus. It will be ensured that visitors are properly wearing masks.

A proper system of crowd control has been set up and to maintain social distancing among the visitors entry gate is made separare from the exit gate. Visitor movement inside the campus will be monitered by CCTV cameras. 

The temple premisis, restaurants, toilets will be sanitised on high frequency every day.  To facilitate the visitors free Prasadam will be dostributed in the afternoon.
“Since safety of our devotees and visitors is most important for  us we  took a bit of extra time to open the gates and wanted to ensure we have enough  equipment and proper infrastructure to implement the precautionary measures” informed Sri Madhava Gauranga Das, Vice Chairman of Mayapur Administrative Council.  
The ISKCON Mayapur management is in constant touch with local administration and will abide by all the rules and regulations.
More than 70 lakh people from different parts of the world visit Mayapur, birth place of Sri Chaitanya MahaPrabhu and headquarter of ISKCON. Over the years Mayapur has become a significant tourist destination of not only West Bengal but the entire world.
However this year the global pandemic cast a spell of gloom on the devotees, pilgrims and visitors  all over the world who come in search of spiritual enlightment and submerge in the blissful ocean of Harinam Sankirtan.
