Krishna Janmashtami, also known simply as Janmashtami or Gokulashtami, is an annual Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. This festival is celebrated all over the country with full enthusiasm and devotion in different forms like Dahi Handi (next day), kite-flying, fair, fasting, traditional sweet dishes etc. Janmashtami is also one of the favourite festivals of our young Presidians which they celebrate with music, dance, pooja with friends and family. Students were involved in making ‘Janmashtami Jhanki’ in different ways like decorating mandir using coloured sheets and decoration materials, matki making with clay and paper flute, and other decorative things. They also made coconut ladoo and Charnamrita for prasads. They shared the importance of this festival and how they celebrated it at home with full zeal. They also sang bhajan and songs for Lord Krishna.
