Banke Bihari — the swayam-prakat Krishna who rose from the Nidhivan
Shri Banke Bihari Mandir at Vrindavan enshrines Banke Bihari, the swayam-prakat form of Krishna who rose from the Nidhivan for the bhakta Haridas, and whose darshan is given in loving glimpses behind a curtain drawn again and again.
Devotees take sevas here for prem, for the household's harmony, and on the Krishna parvs — Janmashtami, Raksha Bandhan and the Braj tithis. The offering is made in your naam-gotra and the recording is sent to you.
5 sevas are open for booking right now.
The curtain is drawn and closed again through the darshan. The tradition holds that the gaze of Banke Bihari is so full of prem that an unbroken darshan is not borne easily, so it is given in glimpses. It is one of the distinctive practices of this mandir.
