- | Thursday | 13th August, 2020
The famous Khatu Shyam temple, remained closed after eight people in nearby areas tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday night, according to Khatushyam police station SHO Pooja Poonia.
Unlike every year roads and temples across Rajasthan were not full of glitters and devotees this Janmashthami because of Coronavirus pandemic. The usual hustle and bustle of devotees was missing from temples. This year, Corona virus confined devotees in their homes. Adapting with changing times, temples across Rajasthan provided online darshan and pujan.
The Govind Dev Ji temple in Jaipur was decked up like every year and the festivities were streamed online. Devotees could also witness tableaux depicting the life of Lord Krishna online.
Celebrations at ISKCON temple in Jagatpura and Mansarovar also took the virtual route.
Public Relations Officer of Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara Girish Kumar said that the traditional tableau and ‘jagran’ will be open from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM but devotees will not be allowed to visit.
Continuing a 350-year-old tradition, a 21-gun salute will be presented to Lord Krishna in Rasala Chowk, he said.
The famous Khatu Shyam temple, however, remained closed after eight people in nearby areas tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday night, according to Khatushyam police station SHO Pooja Poonia.
