Janmashtami Celebration Branch : Dwarka Mor
Sweeter than honey, tastier than curd, pleasanter indeed than any happiness & joy is the company, is the power of the name of Krishna. The birthday of Lord Krishna is celebrated w- ith great devotion & enthusiasm, on this Janmashtami day, in India.
On Wednesday, 17th August 2022, the students of Holy Heart Special School celebrated Janmasht- ami. A splendidly colorful program was organized by the children & staff of the school; where st- udents presented songs, dance performances and a short role play. An awareness on Janm- ashtami, the mythological stories on Krishna, Radha, Kansh – through plays & narrations; were pr- esented to the children.
The students were overjoyed when they broke the ‘Dahi Handi’ (pot of butter & curd) to grace this oc- casion. Dahi Handi is the most ancient joyful game played & celebrated, for the birth of Krish- na in Janmashtami.
The event is based on the legend of the Krishna stealing butter and other milk products as a baby (he is also called Makhan Chor).
