The auspicious occasion of Vaikuntha Chaturdashi was celebrated with deep devotion and traditional rituals at Shri Ram Janki Bala Temple on Thursday. According to Vaibhav Nirvani and Haldardas Vaishnav, the festival holds special significance in Hindu tradition, symbolizing the divine union of Lord Vishnu (Hari) and Lord Shiva (Hara).
On this day, both deities are worshipped together, signifying harmony and spiritual unity. The rituals included the offering of Tulsi leaves, Kaner flowers, and Belpatra, which are considered sacred in the worship of both Gods. Devotees believe that performing this joint worship leads to the blessings of Vaikuntha (divine abode).
Following the rituals, devotees collectively chanted sacred hymns including “Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram” and “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya, Shriman Narayan Narayan Hari Hari”, filling the temple premises with devotional fervor. The ceremony concluded with Prasad distribution, and a large number of devotees received blessings.
