Krishna Janmashtami, also known as Krishnashtami, is observed on the Ashtami tithi, the eighth day of the dark half or Krishna Paksha of the month of Shraavana. The birthday of Lord Krishna is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm, on this day.
Young Gajerians came traditionally dressed as Radha and Krishna. A splendidly colorful program was organized; where Learners presented songs and dance performances. An awareness on Janmashtami, the mythological stories on Krishna, Radha, Kansh – through narrations; were presented to the children.
The Learners were overjoyed when they broke the ‘Dahi Handi’ (pot of butter & curd) to grace this occasion. Dahi Handi is the most ancient joyful game played and celebrated, for the birth of Krishna in Janmashtami. This holy occasion brings people together, thus signifying unity and faith.
