Mathura: The famous Banke Bihari Temple in Vridavan may soon be centrally air-conditioned, officials of the shrine said on Sunday.
Looking at the number of pilgrims especially on Saturdays and Sundays and during festivals, the committee is contemplating making the temple centrally air conditioned, vice president of the temple committee Rajat Goswami said.
An air conditioned hall will also be constructed adjacent to the 'bhog bhandar', where devotees can take rest.
