In the holy town of Vrindavana, this festival lasts for 13 days. It starts on the Tritiya (third day) of the bright fortnight of Shravana (July-Aug) and lasts until the full moon night of the month. During this festival the Radha-Krishna Deities in the temples are gently swung on a swing.

This is one of the biggest festivals of the year and Vrindavana is packed with thousands of devotees from all over. At some temples, the swings are made of gold and silver. Some of the main temples where this festival is celebrated at are the Banke Bihari Temple and the Radha-Raman Temple in Vrindavana, the Dwarkadish temple in Mathura, and the Larily Lal Temple in Varsana.
