The Fruit Jhula

Thakur Ji swings on a jhula adorned entirely with fresh fruits — grapes, pomegranates, apples and pineapples woven into a living arch of devotion, surrounded by an exquisite Vrindavan-themed darbar.

Alongside: a mahaprasad of 3000 guavas, Chappan Bhog — fifty-six divine offerings — and a 108 lb cake for Kanha's birthday.

Come for darshan, stay for the divine.
