The secret of curtaining in Banke Bihari temple

Looking at Bihari ji, she cried a lot thinking and returned home after a while. But, she did not come alone at home but also went with Banke Bihari. The next day, God was stirred up in his place in the temple.
After that, the priests of the temple and the rest of the devotees, searching for the Lord, reached the house of the old woman and prayed to him to return to God. After that Lord Shri Krishna accepted everyone’s prayer and returned to the temple. Since then, the tradition of covering the Banke Bihari temple started so that he would not leave his place again after seeing his devotee’s sentiment.
