• Lord Brahma installing the Deities: When all the arrangements for installation of the Deities were completed, Lord Brahma Himself came down from Satya Loka. He eulogized Narayana, Balarama, Subhadra and Sudarshana and ceremoniously installed the Deities from the Chariots inside the shrine. The installation was performed on Vaisakha Shukla Paksha Ashtami on a Thursday in conjunction with the Pushya Nakshatra.
