The day holds great significance for followers of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). In ISKCON temples, the celebrations include kirtan and the abhishek of Mahaprabhu (performed with a variety of fruit juices, flowers, panchamritam, and panchagavyam), along with discourses on the life and teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The rituals also feature Maha Aarti, the offering of Chhappan Bhog (consisting of 56 varieties of food items), and the distribution of Mahaprasad to devotees.
