New Year 2025: Khatushyam Temple Implements Regular Darshan System, Suspends VIP Access

The Shri Shyam Temple Committee in Khatushyamji has declared that in the New Year 2025 fair, only regular darshan will be allowed for devotees. The VIP darshan system will be suspended for four days, from December 30, 2024, to January 2, 2025, due to the expected heavy crowd.
Regular Darshan System in Place
There will be access to the temple through 14 queues for regular darshan. No VIP arrangements shall be available during the fair. The decision has come about due to the fact that the temple does not have infrastructure to accommodate a VIP corridor during such a high inflow of devotees.
Crowd During Important Days
The temple administration expects a crowd of very large proportions, especially on 31 December and 1 January. Considering the experience in the past, authorities have made these changes so that darshan is seamless for all during the busy period.
Protocol for True VIPs
Only those in the protocol list and VVIPs are allowed darshan under police and administrative arrangements. The temple committee has appealed to the devotees to cooperate with the new system and make arrangements in advance for their visit.
