Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The temple of Lord Krishna that is very popular in India is the Banke Bihari temple, located in Vrindavan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a sacred temple devoted to Thakur Banke Bihari Ji one of the most beautiful incarnations of Krishna<\/a> who enchants all devotees with his mischievous smile and spiritual power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The temple is a spiritual center of millions of pilgrims that come to the town of Vrindavan which is the center of all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also very significant in the area of Braj where Krishna lived his early life. Pilgrims are convinced that one darshan in this place may make life peaceful and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing which is special about this temple is the special darshan system. The curtain in the sanctum continues to open and close every few minutes. This is so because it is considered that the beauty of Banke Bihari Ji is so much that the devotees cannot view him constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of devotees stand in long lines every day to acquire at least a few seconds of darshan. When the curtain is lifted, just temporarily, people feel blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDevotion has nothing to do with time, has to do with one look of love.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what makes this temple quite different. That is why knowing about Banke Bihari Temple timings<\/strong>, aarti schedule, and Vrindavan temple timings<\/strong> is very important before visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA single darshan can lighten up a heart.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aarti Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Banke Bihari Temple does not have too many aartis every day as many temples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, more emphasis is placed on darshan than on rituals. The followers feel that no worship is greater than direct darshan of Bihari Ji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the temple follows a simple but powerful Banke Bihari aarti schedule<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Mangala Aarti – is performed once in a year on Janmashtami. It is the most special and rare aarti.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shringar Aarti – in the morning, when Bihari Ji is put into new clothes and ornaments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rajbhog Aarti – is offered prior to the offering of afternoon bhog (meal).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sandhya Aarti – evening aarti during which lamps are lit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shayan Aarti – the evening prior to closing the temple.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    These aartis continue to vary according to the season, yet the beauty is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An example of this is the Banke Bihar Shringar Aarti, which is performed in the morning typically and the Banke Bihar Rajbhog Aarti, which is performed in the noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
