KV Temple public relations officer Piyush Tripathi said, “Besides the canopies, a carpet has also been laid from the KVC gate to the temple for the convenience of devotees.”

Due to temperature reaching 41 degrees Celsius, the floor of the corridor used to get hot, causing inconvenience to devotees and making it difficult for them to walk. Now, a carpet has been laid.

Devotees enter the KVC from its gate at Laita Ghat and walk through the corridor and reach the temple where they offer prayers to Baba Kashi Vishwanath.
