Baby Krishna grabbing at a pot of curds or youthful Krishna playing with pretty damsels at the river-side or have your pick of the grown-up valiant Krishna preaching to Arjuna of the virtues of duty-bound princes.
Sri Krishna Janmashtami has dawned in Mangalore on August 23rd with religious gaiety and fervour.
ISCKON has plans to celebrate the festival in a big way. Bhajans and kirtans are in order.
Kadri Sri Manjunatha temple is the centre of all attraction on this big day. An atmosphere akin to that of a fair prevails in the vicinity of the temple. Stalls have been set up and people young and old enjoy the afternoon, welcoming one of India's most ardent figure of worship.
The festivities at the temple revolve around children. In various categories, children of all age-groups participate in the Krishna- vesha competition. Parents derive great joy watching their little ones in the guise of India's most lovable god.
Banners, buntings and graffiti proclaim to the world the onset of this festival. And, as the day comes to a close scores of teens form a human pyramid and break the pot of milk hung atop a wire at the reach of the topmost lucky person.
