Devotees have been thronging the Krishna Temple at Patan in Lalitpur since early this morning to worship Lord Krishna on the occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami.
Devotees of Vedic Sanatan Hindu religion are celebrating 'Shri Krishna Janmashtami (birth anniversary of Lord Krishna)' with reverence and devotion across the country today.
Lord Krishna - the pioneer of Knowledge Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga was born in the midnight of Bhadrakrishna Ashtami in the Dwapar era, so the day today is called 'Krishna Janmashtami' and the night is called 'Mohratri'.
On this day, worships are offered to the Lord Krishna in Krishna temples across the country with citation of hymns and scriptures. Devotees stay awake throughout the night.
Born as the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu to protect all human beings from injustice, tyranny and demonic tendencies, Shri Krishna inspired the human community to do good deeds by being in favor of truth throughout his life.
'Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta' is considered to be a holy book in Hindu mythology. The book is believed to have been translated into the largest number of languages in the world.
Lines have been arranged for the devotees in the south and north sides of the temple. Nepal Scouts volunteers as well as Lalitpur Metropolitan Police personnel have been mobilized to manage the lines of devotees.
