Happy Janmashtami! 🪈💙 Today, as we celebrate Krishna's birth, take a journey through his many homes across India -
Uttar Pradesh - Grand temple rituals, Ras Leela and midnight aartis mark the land where Krishna was born and raised.
Maharashtra - Dahi Handi turns the streets into a spectacle, with human pyramids breaking pots of curd.
Gujarat - Dwarka comes alive with folk dances, temple offerings and night-long vigils.
Karnataka & Kerala - Celebrated as Gokulashtami, with soulful bhajans, fasting and kolam footprints of baby Krishna.
Odisha & West Bengal - Puri's Jagannath Temple and Mayapur host grand midnight prayers and Bhagavata Purana readings.
So many traditions, one shared devotion. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Janmashtami 🙏✨
