EVENTS & FESTIVALS



KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI – 14th AUGUST
On the occasion of Lord Krishna’s Birthday, there’s great favour amongst Hindus all over the country. In Maharashtra, earthen pots of curd and butter are hung high up over the streets. Young men enacting an episode from Krishna’s childhood form human pyramids by climbing on each other’s shoulder and try to break these pots. The story goes that young Krishna would go to any heights to have his fill.
