Known as the Dwarka of South India, this revered temple hosts grand Janmashtami celebrations with traditional Kerala rituals, devotional music, and large gatherings.
Built around the prison cell where Lord Krishna's parents were held captive, this temple complex is a major pilgrimage site, especially during Janmashtami and other festivals like Diwali and Holi.
Believed to be established by Lord Krishna's great-grandson over 2,500 years ago, this temple on a hilltop sees grand Janmashtami celebrations and is reached by climbing over 50 steps.
A focal point for Janmashtami celebrations, devotees flock to see Banke Bihari adorned in festive attire, with traditional singing, dancing, and a special mangala aarti starting at 2 am.
Famous for its beautiful idol of Lord Krishna, this temple allows devotees to view the deity through the Navagraha Kitiki, a window with nine holes, especially during Janmashtami.
