The Uttar Pradesh Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust Act, 2025
This Act establishes the Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust to govern the historic temple in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. It applies to the temple itself, its priests, administrative staff, and secular authorities. The law regulates temple assets, financial donations, staff responsibilities, security, and infrastructure expansion, while protecting traditional religious rituals. This legislation matters because it replaces unstructured management with a formal, government supervised Board of Trustees and a dedicated executive officer. This new system ensures clean financial audits, protects valuable deity properties, and guarantees safer, more comfortable amenities for the millions of devotees who visit this sacred site every year.
