Vrindavan, 2017.01.05 (VT) Hundreds of devotees danced in the streets of Vrindavan, on Thursday, to celebrate the appearance day of Sri Gopala Bhatt Goswami, the founder of Radha Raman temple.
The shobhyatra (auspicious parade) was headed by a band playing lively devotional tunes that got people dancing.

The shobhyatra began from Radha Raman temple and did a full tour of old Vrindavan, passing by Gopeshwar temple, Gyan Gudri, Gopinath Bazar, Rangaji Temple, Chungi Chaurah, Anaj Mandi, Bankhandi Mahadev temple, Loi Bazar and Shahaji temple, before returning to Radha Raman temple.
When the shobhyatra returned to Radha Raman temple, the musical spectacular continued and the temple’s Goswamis performed a flower abhishek of Radha Ramanji, lovingly covering Thakurji in fragrant flowers.
Radha Ramanji looked splendid, with intricate poshak. Radha Ramanji’s dress is always opulent. He self-manifested from a Shaligram Shila, in the year 1599, in order to fulfil Sri Gopala Bhatta Goswami’s desire to serve Him by adorning Him with clothing that enhances His radiance.
