Swami Haridas forced God to appear in idol form through his penance and devotion, consequently, in his dream, he was enlightened about the idol of God, excavated from Nidhi Van and installed in the sanctum of the Banke Bihari temple. Swami Haridas was believed to be the reincarnation of Goddess Radha’s favourite companion, Lalita. Since childhood, he was a devotee of Lord Krishna, born in Haridaspur village in Aligarh and arrived in Vrindavan, when it was a forest, at age of 25. He was a great musician and the Guru of Tansen, his music had attracted the third Mughal king Akbar who visited him to hear his music. In Banke Bihari temple, the idol of God depicts His child form and the deity is worshipped like a child. This is the only temple with no gongs and there is no Mangla Arti, to avoid any disturbance to the divine kid.

It is believed that straight leaves are Radha and curvy leaves are Krishna. There are 16108 trees, believed to be converted into gopies after nightfall and dance with Lord Krishna. According to local folklore, after nightfall, Lord Krishna visits here every night for Raas Leela. Swami Haridas’ hard penance compelled Lord Krishna to visit Nidhi Van. Local inhabitants prefer to remain indoors and close their windows because they believe their Lord does not prefer any disturbance during Raas Leela. Some even claimed to have heard the sound of flute emanating from Nidhi Van.

Lord Krishna made here a Kund (pond), called Lalita Kund, to quench the thirst of Lalita.
