Significance of Krishna Janmashtami
Krishna Janmashtami celebrations are especially important for devotees of Lord Krishna. The celebration is usually filled with a balance of rituals and traditions and fun observances. After the midnight puja of Lord Krishna, the following morning is dedicated to celebrating the young and mischievous life of Krishna as a child.
Since Lord Krishna was known to steal butter from his neighborhood and was lovingly called Makhan Chor, the tradition of Dahi Handi — where people form a human pyramid and try to break an earthen pot filled with butter or curd — is observed.
