Why to visit Shri Banker Bihari Mandir

As you approach the Banke Bihari Temple, you are greeted by the temple's gorgeous Rajasthani-style architecture, which is embellished with arched windows and careful brickwork. The temple's figure of Lord Krishna is depicted as a kid standing in the Tribhanga stance. The Banke Bihari temple is unique in that there are no bells or conchs on the premises since the Lord dislikes the sound of these instruments. The tranquil chants of 'Radha Naam' are used to invoke the divine.

The words 'Banke' and 'Bihari' both imply supreme enjoyer, while 'Banke' implies bent in three places. The deity in Banke Bihari Temple was previously known as Kunj- Bihari, which translates to "lake enjoyer." The Bihariji's sewa is distinctive in its own right. Every day, Shringar, Rajbhog, and Shayan are done in three sections. While Shringar (bath, clothing, and adorning with jewellery such as crowns and necklaces) and Rajbhog (feast) are performed in the morning, Shayan Sewa (sleep) is performed in the evening. The Banke Bihari Temple, one of the holiest venues for Lord Krishna worship, is visited by devotees throughout the year.

At the Banke Bihari Temple, special days in Lord Krishna's life are commemorated with joy and passion. During Janmashtami, Mangala aarti is performed in the temple, and Akshaya Tritiya is the sole day when the deity's lotus feet can be seen. Only on the full moon day in fall may the deity be seen wearing a particular crown and wielding a flute.
