Janamashtami celebrated across the state

Ranchi: The festival of Janamashtami was celebrated with traditional fervour and gaiety across the state. In some parts of the state the people celebrated the festival on Friday itself while in some other places celebrations were held on Saturday. However in Mathura which is considered to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna the event was celebrated on Saturday.

As part of the celebrations, special decorations were made across all the temples especially those belonging to Radha Krishna. As is the custom a huge crowd of visitors was seen in the temples of the city during the midnight who had gathered to celebrate the birth of the lord at the stroke of midnight. Various social and religious organisations had organised Dahi Handi competitions across the state and especially in Ranchi where the ‘govindas’ lined up to break the earthen pots hung high above the ground and claim the prize money.

Apart from that bhajans, jagrans were also held in the temples while tableaux showcasing the different stages of life of Lord Krishna was also taken out in the city.
