Kartik is the dearest month of the year in Braj. From the day after Sharad Purnima until Kartik Purnima, devotees keep the niyam sewa: rising before dawn, bathing in the Yamuna, singing the Damodar lila and offering a lamp to Thakur Ji each evening.

At the temple the courtyard glows with diyas at sandhya aarti throughout the month. Lamps and wicks are provided; please arrive before the evening aarti so that the deepdaan can begin together. The month closes with Dev Deepawali on Kartik Purnima, when the whole of Vrindavan is lit.
