Sacred Festivals of Lord Krishna
Each festival is a divine invitation — to sing, celebrate, and deepen our devotion to Lord Krishna through age-old traditions.
Krishna Janmashtami
Celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna — the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. One of the most important and widely observed Krishna festivals, marked with fasting, midnight celebrations, devotional singing, and the iconic decoration of baby Krishna's cradle.

Gokulashtami
Widely celebrated across South India — especially Tamil Nadu — with devotional songs, vibrant kolams, and elaborate Krishna-themed decorations. Homes and temples are adorned beautifully as devotees recreate the joyful atmosphere of Gokul.

Dahi Handi
Popular in Maharashtra, this festival commemorates young Krishna's well-known love for butter. Teams of young men form human pyramids to break a pot of curd hung high — re-enacting Krishna's childhood mischief with great enthusiasm.

Holi
The joyful festival of colors, deeply linked with Krishna's playful pastimes in Vrindavan. Legend tells of Krishna playfully smearing Radha and the Gopis with colors. Celebrated with songs, dance, gulal (colored powder), and devotional joy.

Radhashtami
Honors Srimati Radharani — the divine consort of Lord Krishna and the embodiment of pure love and devotion. Celebrated 15 days after Janmashtami with special prayers, decoration of Radha's idol, and chanting of Radha's holy names.

Govardhan Puja
Celebrates Lord Krishna lifting the Govardhan Hill on his little finger for seven days to protect the people of Vrindavan from Indra's wrath. Devotees offer Annakut — a mountain of food — to the Lord on this auspicious day.
Vrindavan
Rasa Purnima
Commemorates Krishna's divine Ras Leela — the celestial dance performed with the Gopis on the full moon night of the Sharad season. It symbolises the soul's longing for union with the Divine, observed with kirtans, dance, and prayers.
