Gokulashtami

Gokulashtami, also known as Krishna Janmashtami, is a joyous Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna. Apart from its religious significance, the festival resonates with cultural and social dimensions.



Lord Krishna, a revered deity, is often depicted as a playful and sportive figure in Hindu mythology. This aspect of Krishna’s personality is embraced during Gokulashtami celebrations, where all children of Shree Mavli Mandal participate in Dahi Handi – a joyous sporting event that brings everyone together and a sense of shared cultural celebration.
