The Hindu festival of Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, a key deity in Hinduism. Observances include fasting, singing bhajans (devotional songs), and reenacting his childhood exploits. Devotees often construct javari (platforms) to symbolize the playful nature of Krishna and witness lively performances known as Dahi Handi, where teams compete to break a pot filled with curd suspended high up. Temples and homes are adorned, and rituals such as bathing the idol of Krishna take place. This festive occasion brings communities together in joy and affection for the deity.
