Special tradition of Janmashtami in the Banke Bihari temple

The celebration of Janmashtami is very special in the Banke Bihari temple located in Vrindavan. On this day, Mangala Aarti of Thakur ji is performed at noon, which is done only once in the whole year, on this auspicious occasion. On this occasion, Mahabhishek of Laddu Gopal is duly performed, and special worship is done. This is the reason why Mangala Aarti, which is performed once in the Banke Bihari temple on the night of Janmashtami, is considered the most special in the whole year. Devotees come to Vrindavan from far and wide for this rare darshan.

Why is Mangala Aarti performed on Janmashtami in Banke Bihari temple?

Banke Bihari temple has a special tradition that Mangala Aarti is not performed there every day. Mangala Aarti of Thakur ji is performed only once in the whole year on the day of Janmashtami. There is a deep religious belief and tradition behind this.

It is said that Banke Bihari ji appeared in Nidhivan, pleased with the penance and devotion of Swami Haridas ji. This is the reason why this place is considered very sacred. It is believed that even today, Lord Krishna performs Raas with Radha Rani and the gopis at night and then rests in the third prahar. For this reason, he is not woken up for Mangala Aarti in the morning.

But the day of Janmashtami is special, because it is the festival of the appearance of Lord Krishna. On this auspicious occasion, Mangala Aarti of Banke Bihari Ji is performed for only one day, which is considered to be a rare and divine Aarti which happens only once in the whole year.
