Entry to Gundicha Temple will be completely free for senior citizens and small children. There will be a special darshan arrangement for divyang devotees, elderly persons and women. Ramp facilities are being made for divyang devotees. CCTV installation work is underway for counting of donation boxes in Gundicha Temple.

Devotees usually visit Srimandira for darshan of Mahaprabhu and then come to Gundicha Temple for darshan of Janmabedi. But as Shree Gundicha Temple has been closed for many years, devotees are unable to go inside and are returning disappointed from outside.
