After this, when the priest was asked about it, he said that you are Shri Krishna's girlfriend and are not even married. Because of this, the wives of Lord Shri Krishna were not allowed to enter the temple, then you are also not allowed to enter the temple. Because of this, Radha Rani got angry with the priest. After this, Radha Rani cursed the Jagannath temple that if any unmarried couple enters the temple together in life, then they will never get the love of a lover or girlfriend.
