A major part of the Lord Krishna rituals and observances are the mass prayers that are offered from morning 6:00 am to 8:00 pm. This temple is a center of faith for the Hindu Community. The villagers in particular have strong devotion for the Lord here. All Hindus festivals are celebrated here, but those related to Radha and Krishna are celebrated with enthusiasm. They are Janmasthmi, Radha Asthmi, Gopasthmi, Holi etc. Holi is held every year a day after Dol Purnima and the idols are carried to the nearby house of the Mukherjees in an ancient wooden palanquin. Special rituals are performed and at evening the idol is brought back to the temple. During the return journey bonfires are placed alongside the path and the people carrying the palanquin have to make their way through it.
