On the day of Bihar Panchami, the main festival starts from the Bihari Ji Prakatya Sthal of Nidhivan i.e. Shri Banke Bihari Temple.
❀ Shri Banke Bihari ji is anointed(Abhishek) early in the morning.
❀ In this process the symbolic footprints of Shri Banke Bihari Ji Maharaj are bathed with milk, curd, honey, ghee and water.
❀ Abhishek Prasad i.e. Panchamrit Prasad is distributed among the devotees.
❀ A grand procession is taken out from Nidhivan to Shri Banke Bihari Temple.
❀ The procession includes bands, music, decorated elephants, flags and kirtan troupes from far and wide.
❀ The procession is led by three chariots of Swami Shri Haridasji, Shri Vitthalji and Shri Goswami Jagannathji Maharaj.
❀ By the time of Rajbhog (12 noon), the procession travels through the main markets of Vrindavan to reach Shri Banke Bihari Temple.
❀ Deities of saints are welcomed inside the temple, after which Rajbhog is offered to Bihari ji.

Devotees believe that Bihari ji enjoys the food on this day by Swami Haridas ji himself sitting on his lap. Prasad is distributed among the devotees at the end of the festival after the Rajbhog Aarti. [Source: bihariji.org]
