Vrindavan

Festivals of Vrindavan

🕯️ Kartik Month

Through Kartik, Vrindavan keeps two rhythms: a dawn walk around the town on the parikrama path, and lamps offered every evening to Damodara, the child Krishna, in temples and on the Yamuna.

Lathmar Holi of Braj

Vrindavan is a base for the Lathmar week: day trips to the staves at Barsana and Nandgaon, then Rangbhari Ekadashi at Banke Bihari, when colour and flowers begin in the town's own temples.

🎪 Rath Yatra

Vrindavan keeps Rath Yatra at several temples at once: chariots roll through the old lanes to the Jagannath temple at Gyan Gudri, and ISKCON celebrates with kirtan and a chariot of its own.

📅 5 July 2027

Vrindavan keeps the rarest rite of the festival: Banke Bihari performs its Mangla Aarti once a year, at 03:30 on Janmashtami night, and the temple's access rules are currently set by a Supreme Court-appointed committee.
