The Hindus celebrate Janmashtami for the birth of Sri
Krishna. The festival usually occurs in August. Moreover, the Hindus celebrate
this festival in the Ashtami of Krishna Paksha. Moreover, Lord Krishna is the
most powerful incarnation of Lord Vishnu.He was born on the 8th day of Dark
Fortnight in the month of Bhadon. Bhadon is a month in the Hindu calendar.
Moreover, he was born around 5,200 years ago approximately. Because he was one
of the most powerful Gods. He was born for a special purpose on Earth. Lord
Krishna was born to free the world from evil. As a result, he played an
important role in the book of Mahabharata. Also, Lord Krishna preached about
good karma and the theory of Bhakti.
Lord Krishna was born in a prison. He was in the clutches
if Kansa. But his father Vasudev gave him to his friend Nand to save him.
Because he knew that Kansa was evil-minded. Furthermore after getting saved the
upbringing of Sri Krishna was in a Gokul family. Sri Krishna after some time
became strong. As a result, he was able to kill Kansa.
When I was a child I used to watch many shows on Sri
Krishna. As a result, I know many things about him. First of all, Sri Krishna
was very fond of eating Makhan. Because of that he always used to steal it from
his mothers’ kitchen. Therefore his name was ‘Natkahat Nand Lal’. Sri Krishna
was dark-colored. So he was always worried about his color. Moreover, Sri
Krishna had a friend named Radha. Radha Was the daughter of Vrishbhanu Gopa and
Kirti Devi. She is sometimes considered as the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi,
the consort of Lord Vishnu. She was of great importance to Krishna. So he
always spent time with her. From Hindu mythological to this technological era,
Radha Krishna has always been symbolised as a benchmark of love. These two
words in our Indian history are never been taken separately. People celebrate
Janmashtami in mid-night. Because Lord Krishna was born in the dark. Moreover,
people have a special way of celebrating the festival. Since Sri Krishna was
fond of Makhan.So people play this sport. The sport is, they tie an earthen
pot(matki). The judge of the game ties the matki really high from the ground.
Furthermore, a person fills Makhan in the matki. Also, what people do is they
build a human pyramid to break the matki. Since the matki is too high they have
to build a tall pyramid. As a result, many people have to take part in sport.
Moreover, there are other teams too who stop them from breaking the matki.
Equal chances are there for both the teams. Each team gets a chance for a
particular time period. If the team is not able to do it in time then the other
team tries it. This is an interesting sport many people gather to watch this
sport. Specifically in Maharashtra .some people celebrate this festival People
decorate their houses from outside with lights. Moreover, the temples are full
of people. They perform various rituals inside the temple. As a result, we hear
the sound of bells and mantras the whole day.
