During this time, pilgrims come from far and wide to offer a lamp to Mother Yasoda and Lord Krishna. The importance of this month is described extensively in the scriptures, especially in Srila Rupa Goswami’s Mathura Mahatmya.
Every day, devotees come to the Temple and offer a candle to Lord Damodara. The Damodarastakam, a series of eight beautiful verses by the great sage Satyavrata Muni, is sung daily in the morning and evening.
