State Bank of India has started a new facility for the online booking of tickets for puja and donations for Shri Kashinath temple here.
"The money from online booking and donations will directly go to the temple's trust. We will also provide the temple with modern banking facilities," said Sudhir Dubey, SBI Chief General Manager, Lucknow branch, after inaugurating the facility here.
A similar facility was started for the Somnath temple earlier, which led to an increase of 40 per cent in the temple's earnings, he said.
At present, only SBI account holders can avail this facility, said Amit Jhingran, SBI Assistant General Manager.
The facility will be later extended to people with accounts in different banks too, he said.
