Krishna Jayanthi Celebrations

Gokulashtami celebrates the birth of  Lord Krishna. It is one of the most celebrated festivals for Hindus not only in India also all over the world. Butter is favorite for Lord Krishna. He is fond of Milk, Curd, Butter and Sweets. During Krishna's childhood, he is fond of butter and he will steal the butter from the pots that will spill out in the floor and when he runs, it forms a nice palm prints. So people keeping this in mind and draw small prints in the entrance to Pooja room.

On the evening during sunset devotees will do pooja for Lord Krishna and do Nivedhiyam (offer) with Butter, Milk, Aval, Thattai, Seedai, Appam, Muruku and so many sweets and fruits.
