Seers and saints in Mathura have announced ‘Kar Seva’ (voluntary service) for the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple on December 6, 2026, the same date on which the Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992. The announcement was made at the Chitragupta Peeth in Radhakund, where seers from Haridwar, Ayodhya, Banaras, Mathura, and Vrindavan gathered and pledged their participation.
Swami Sachchidanand Maharaj, the Chitragupta Peethadhishwar of Govardhan, declared that the course of the Ram Lalla temple movement was determined on December 6, and therefore “Kar Seva” for Krishna Janmabhoomi will also commence on the same date. The seers asserted that they would not back down even if the district administration attempted to stop them.
Following the announcement, the district administration implemented extensive security measures. An alert was issued for the area surrounding the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi complex. Notices were served on several seers, including Sachchidanand. Police detained Hindu Mahasabha president Mira Rathore, along with Nisha Thakur, Neetu Thakur, and Nitesh Bhardwaj. These leaders were taken into custody near the security barrier of the Janmabhoomi complex while they were on their way to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple.
Security agencies in the district were put on high alert, and special surveillance was maintained around the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple. Thorough security checks were conducted on every individual at Gate No. 123, and unidentified persons were barred from entering the temple. Security agencies also monitored social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and appeals were made to refrain from spreading rumours.
On July 4, Swami Sachchidanand Maharaj had announced the launch of “kar seva” for the construction of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple. Numerous seers and “akharas” (monastic orders) extended their support to the campaign.
