History & tradition
Banke Bihari is worshipped in Vrindavan in Krishna’s three-bend posture. Mathura’s district account connects the image with Swami Haridas and its earlier worship at Nidhivan. The temple’s own account understands the deity as Shyama Shyam, the united form of Radha and Krishna. These devotional accounts express the shrine’s living tradition.
