Indians are bracing up to mark the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna this week on August 11 & 12. Also known as Gokulashtami, Shrikrishna Jayanti, or just Janmashtami, it is one of the most colourful festivals dedicated to Lord Krishna and celebrated with much splendour and fervor in India and abroad. It is believed that on this day, Lord Vishnu, deemed as the preserver or sustainer of life, incarnated as Lord Krishna to fight evils. Lord Krishna is considered as the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

To mark the festival, Krishna devotees usually observe fasts, sing devotional songs, organise Dahi Handi ceremony, and throng temples for various other celebrations. Temples across the nation are decorated with lights and flowers on this auspicious day. Besides, the young kids deck up as Lord Krishna and Radha.

However, owing to the Coronavirus pandemic, the celebrations might look a little different as it has been advised by the administration to avoid celebrations in large gatherings. But not to simmer down the festive vibe, one can always share fun, loving, and heartwarming messages with your family members, friends and loved ones.
