Krishnashtami / Krishna Jeyanthi is celebrated by all Hindus all over India and also in some parts of the world where they worship Krishna. Krishna Jeyanthi festival marks Lord Krishna's birth and its celebrated with grand show. People decorate their houses with flowers, rangoli and balloons welcoming Baby Krishna on this auspicious day and they draw small footprints of baby krishna from the entrance of the home till the Pooja place. There's a belief that baby krishna would walk on these foot steps into their house and enjoy their prasads on this special day. As Lord Krishna liked milk, butter, curd during his childhood, they offer many milk based sweets to him along with the traditional seedai, murukkus, payasams and aval ( poha ) based food items.
We celebrated Krishna Jeyanthi at our house with Aval ( Poha ) based prasadams this year.
Krishnaya Vasudevaya Devaki Nandanayacha
Nandagopa Kumaraya Sri Govindaya Namo Namaha.
