The deities in this temple are Prabhu Jagatbandhu (at centre) flanked by RadhaKrisna, Nitai Gour & Gour Bishnupriya. For this festival, Krishna as BalGopal was also worshipped with events noted below.
BALGOPAL SRI KRISHNA ::
The function on the first day was a narration of the descent of Lord Krishna at Mathura in the Kangsa(the demon)'s prison straight from the Srimad Bhagbatam with explanations given by legendary saints like Sridhar Swamipad and Sanatan Goswamipad. Pictures and short video-clips are inserted here for the readers. The episode under deliberation went upto the Lord's appearance at the midnight on a terribly dark and raining night. After this the devotees went home with eagerly waiting mentally and longing at heart for the next episodes .
The following morning was for rejoicing the appearance of the BalGopal at Gokul as the only son of Nanda Raaja and Yashoda Raani. The kirtan performed to rejoice this event brought tremendous joy and the listeneing devotees became ecstatically charged shouting "Haribol".
