The atmosphere is devotional with darshan, bhajans and aarti. Photography is generally allowed in outer areas but restricted inside the sanctum.

Kirti Mandir was conceived by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj and constructed by Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat. Foundation work began in the 2000s and the temple was inaugurated on 10 February 2019. It is the only temple dedicated to Kirti Maiya and commemorates Barsana as the birthplace of Radha Rani, central to Braj history and Vaishnav tradition.

The temple holds religious importance for devotees of Radha Krishna, honoring Kirti as the mother of Radha Rani. It is an important pilgrimage destination in the Braj region alongside Barsana's Shriji Temple and Vrindavan's Prem Mandir, especially visited during Radhashtami, Janmashtami and Holi-related Barsana festivals.
