Fun and frolic: During the festival
Little Krishnas and his Gopikas dressed in colourful attires participated in various competitions conducted across the city to celebrate Krishna Janmastami.
Variety fare
People thronged various temples from the morning and offered special pujas. They participated in various events at Srikrishna Vidya Mandir during the Janmastami celebrations held at the school premise. The place was teeming with rolly-polly kids painted blue, flute in hand and the unmistakable peacock feather on the head.
Naughty but nice
It was a little horde of naughty Krishnas with only the parents being able to identify their wards. The parents had to keep an eye on the naughty ones who were oblivious to what was happening around and started to pull out the decorations. Tired of the long wait, some of them dozed off in the arms of their parents.
The students of the high school gave a fascinating display of different scenes and events from Lord Krishna's life. Devotees thronged Krishna Mandir at Seethammadhara where the celebrations started from the early hours of the day
At midnight, Krishna arti was performed and firecrackers were burst to mark the birth of Lord Krishna.
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) celebrated the day with a lot of fervour.
Competitions like painting, Gita recitation, essay writing, poster making, fancy dress, solo and group dance, singing and drama were organised.
