Period: Devotional era
Shri Banke Bihari Ji is the enchanting tribhanga form of Lord Krishna, revealed at Vrindavan by the great saint-musician Swami Haridas — so captivating that the temple keeps a curtain drawn before the deity, lest the gaze of Bihari overwhelm the devotee. This aarti, dwelling on his peacock-crown and flute, is sung at the close of his worship.
