A handsome temple has been constructed in his honour. Near this temple is a temple of Champakeshwara Mahadeva. The birth anniversary of Saint Vallabhacharya is celebrated every year on the 11th day of 'Baisakh', attended by thousands followers of the Sect, to pay Him homage. An annual fair is held in Champaran with great carousing in the month of 'Magh', every year.
