People in Patna on Tuesday celebrated the birth of Lord Krishna with prayers, hymns, and dramas to recreate the life of the 8th reincarnation of Lord Vishnu as devotees made a beeline at a number of Krishna temples and other places celebrating Janmashtmi in the city.
Special events were organized at Dadiji Temple on Bank Road, ISKCON, Mahavir Mandir, Asa Ram Bapu Ashram, and the Radha-Krishna Temple in Sabjibagh.
A host of Bihar leaders including Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Sports, Art, and Culture Minister Janardan Singh Sigriwal, former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Bihar Assembly Speaker Uday Narayan Chowdhary, Road Construction and Tourism Minister Nand Kishore Yadav, and former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra participated in the Sri Krishna Arti organized by the ISKCON at Sri Krishna Memorial Hall.
Children dressed up like baby Krishna stole the show by their costumes and short plays to highlight various events associated with the Lord's innocent childhood days.
