Gokul ashtami - 12.8. 2020

Janmashtami or Gokul Ashtami, is the celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna the eighth incarnation of Vishnu, as as per Hindu belief,

Traditionally a pot filled with curd , rice and milk is hung at a height in all neighbourhoods, where the people climb one over the other as circular pyramid and the person on the top would break the pot. There is euphoria in the air during this celebration. #Covid 19 this year it passed in a sombre way
