Sree Krishnaa Fest

Yesterday was a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It was the birth anniversary of Lord Shree Krishna, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu. It was celeberated as Gokulaashtami. 

Devotees fast on that day, perform Pooja to Lord Shree Krishna, Devaki, Vasudeva etc. after moon rise. They offer Arghyam to Lord Shree Krishna and to the Moon.

They complete the pooja ritual by reciting the appropriate manthra and end their fasting after 7.38 pm IST tonight.
