Janmashtami, Nandotsav and Swami Prabhupada’s birthday- it is a cluster of festivities for the devotees in the city at the ISKCON Temple which would conclude on Thursday This is one of the auspicious occasions, as people celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna on the occasion of ‘Janmashtami’. The festival is not just celebrated by the Hindus but also by people belonging to various castes and religions. One can experience the festivities at the ISKCON Temple where devotees, aged between 8 and 80, wait in long queues for the Lord’s darshan. Some even paint their faces with ‘rashakali tilaka’ and can see children dressed like Bala Krishna.
“Devotees have been pouring from as early as 4: 30 am and we have decided to keep the temple open for 23 hours. Janmashtami will be followed by Nandotsav and the birth celebrations of our founder Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,” said Vikram, one of the volunteers at the ISKCON Temple in Abids.
