The festival of Krishna Janmashtami was celebrated with great enthusiasm on 26 August in Lalbarra, the headquarters and the surrounding rural areas and there was a lot of hustle and bustle in the markets due to this, people from villages reached the headquarters and did shopping and Krishna devotees have also installed the idol of Lord Krishna in their homes. While discussing the same, Kajai Panchayat Sarpanch Shri Anand Bisen told that everyone has been celebrating the festival of Krishna Janmashtami for many years and whenever the atrocities of the demons have increased, then God has taken incarnation on earth and protected the devotees and established truth and religion. Lord Krishna took incarnation in Mathura to destroy Kansa on the midnight of Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapad month, so this day is celebrated as Krishna Janmashtami. This time the same coincidence is being made on the birth of Shri Krishna as it happened during his birth in Dwapar Yuga. This time the planets and stars and Ashtami Tithi are meeting together on the night of 26 August, which is considered a very auspicious coincidence because the creator of the universe himself and the master of 16 arts is going to be born in your house, so some things should be taken special care of in the worship of Janmashtami. First of all, the mother should dedicate it to her feet. While discussing further, Shri Bisen told that for the last 13 years, Lord Krishna has been established in the house continuously, everyone is very excited about this, in Krishna Bhakti. They get absorbed in Him and on the evening of 26th August, Lord Shri Krishna was installed after performing puja in a proper manner and in the night, the idol of Lord Shri Krishna was worshipped and Laai, gram, bananas, sweets and other dishes were offered to the Lord and in the night, Bhajans and Kirtans based on Lord Shri Krishna were also organized due to which the atmosphere of the house became devotional. And on 27th August, Nand's son was bid farewell with great fanfare and he was taken to the immersion ghat and immersed after performing puja.
