- Devotees can visit, pray online, or chant for blessings.
The festival of Akshaya Tritiya holds a very special place at the Banke Bihari Temple. It is the only day in the entire year when devotees get the rare opportunity of Charan Darshan (divine feet darshan) of Lord Krishna. Devotees from across the world gather to witness this sacred moment.
When Will Charan Darshan Take Place In 2026?
In 2026, the festival of Akshaya Tritiya is being celebrated on Sunday, April 19. However, at the temple, the Charan Darshan will be held on April 20. This is because the festival in the Braj region is observed according to the Udaya Tithi (the date at sunrise), which falls on April 20 this year.
The Tritiya Tithi begins at 10:49 AM on April 19 and continues until 7:27 AM on April 20. Since the Tithi is present at sunrise on April 20, that day is considered more suitable for the celebrations. Therefore, devotees who wish to have the divine Charan Darshan can plan their visit to Vrindavan on April 20.

Importance Of Chandan Lepan
Before Akshaya Tritiya, people in the Braj region begin preparing sandalwood paste for the special Chandan Lepan ritual. On this day, Lord Banke Bihari is beautifully adorned with sandalwood, which is considered highly auspicious and dear to the deity.
How To Seek Blessings
If you are planning to visit Vrindavan this Akshaya Tritiya, don’t miss the Charan Darshan at the Banke Bihari Temple. Offer your prayers and seek strength to overcome life’s challenges.
If visiting is not possible, you can still join the aarti online from home and seek blessings. You can also sit in a peaceful place, close your eyes, and chant the name of the Lord. For quicker blessings, chanting “Radha Raman” is considered especially powerful.
