KRISHNA JAYANTHI | GOKULASHTAMI RECIPES

Krishna Jayanthi also called as Krishna Janmashtami/Gokulashtami is celebrated every year during the month of Avani on Krishna Baksha Ashtami. This year Gokulashtami falls on 5-Sep-2015.

We also dress the little ones in the costumes of Radha and Krishna

Butter, Aval and seedai are a must for Neivedhyam
