Temples in Kamyavan are cash strapped for basic daily expenses

2023.03.16 (Vrindavan Today News): Several temples in Kamyavan (Kama) are struggling to survive as there are no funds available for the daily rituals and temple activities.  As many as 151 temples of the city are cash strapped for the basic daily expenses even to buy items for minimum Bhog – Prasad.

Despite the fact the Lordships of the temples are the owners of properties worth several crores, these temples are finding it difficult to light diyas (lamps) in the temples. The financial constraint is so serious that they can’t spend money in the renovation and repairs that is urgently required for the existence of these temples.

It should be noted that several original Lordships of Vrindavan were taken to Jaipur and other places in Rajasthan during the Mughal invasion in Braj. The deities of Shri Govinda Dev, Shri Gopinath and Madan Mohan temples are worth mentioning that migrated to Jaipur and Karoli. During the course of migration these devotees stayed in different places like Radhakund, Kama etc. After the original deities moved to their current locations, their replicas were established in the temples of Kama.
