Krishna Janmasthami

Hi friends

I am very happy to share with you about the cultural program here and I would like to know about other's too.There are many cultural feasts and festivals in Nepal. I am going to share here about Krishna Janmaasthamali. It is celebrated all over Nepal, so it is national holiday today. It is celebrated by all Hindus in the world. It is birth day of God Krishna. There was a great crowd of Hindu devotees in the temple of God Krishna,kathmandu. Some religious organization marched and rallied in the main city of Kathmandu.God Krishna is known that he killed many giants and saved the life of people. So he is paid a great respect by worshiping and burning lamps on his temple. People fast too on this day. It is is a very religious day for Hindus.

President Dr Ram Baran Yadav, as the head-of-the state, visited Krishna Mandir (temple) in Lalitpur this morning and offered prayers at the temple. He also received tika and blessings from the temple's main priest. On this day, people throng the temples of Lord Krishna, a playful god who, according to Hindu mythology, killed his uncle Kanksa to relieved his people from age-old tyranny. The Hindu religion also believes that Krishna acted as a mentor to the Pandavas in their victory in the famous battle of Mahabharata and stood as a beacon of the triumph of the good over evil. Lord Krishna's love and devotion towards his beloved Radha is also equally celebrated by followers of Hinduism
