Happy Janamashthami!


Festivities filled the air all around in North India this weekend when 'Janamashtami', Lord Krishna's birthday, was celebrated with devotion and joy. All Hindu temples came alive with grand celebrations when the devotees visited the temples late Friday night and waited for the clocks to strike 12 O' Clock when Krishna is believed to have been born. 

Mathura, the birthplace of Krishna, and Vrindavan, a village where he grew up, are both known for the magnificent Janamashtami celebrations and are visited by scores of devotees around this Hindu festival.

The temples are beautifully decorated and welcome one and all to join in the jubilant celebrations!
