Decorate your home in silver and welcome Krishna in all grandeur. Bhima got you covered.

Dwarka in the west, Puri in the east, Udupi in Karnataka and Guruvayur in Kerala, 7 temples of Thakur in Vrindavan and temples all over India. Beauty, royalty, elegance and charm is all we recollect as we think of Lord Sri Krishna. His charm and beauty is something we cannot miss. As a child or as a cowherd, even as a warrior he is always dressed in beautiful yellow hues (pitambari as we call it), a peacock feather, an enchanting flute and a smile which infects the whole world.

There’s no city without Krishna temple, no home without his photo and no heart without his name on it. He’s still ruling the hearts and minds of every devotee. A mother’s nightmare, naughty neighbor, charming cowherd, butter thief, valiant warrior, astute yogi, ruthless king and the most colourful incarnation. From a butter thief, to gopala the cowherd to govardhan, one who lifts govardhan mountain, Krishna even as a child has demonstrated exemplary display of valour and leadership. He is someone everyone looks up to in every need and deed.

As a child, he fought with the snake Kaliya, performed the cosmic dance over his head and almost crushed him. He saved the lives of many villagers even as a kid. We celebrate the joy, the leela, the playfulness of Sri Krishna which he exhibited even during the most tragic times. He was born in a prison, separated by his parents, separated by Radhe, gopikas and his friends, had to fight brutal wars and become the King of Dwarka. Through all this, he was always playful, wearing the peacock feather and a smile that never fades.

Krishna’s birth is celebrated with great pomp and show all over the world on ashtami, in the month of bhadrapada a per Hindu calendar. In Maharashtra, they form a human pyramid and break the dahi handi, a pot full of curd/buttermilk. The whole day is full of festivities. People fast till midnight and break their fast at midnight when Sri Krishna is born. In South India, people decorate their houses with kolams and foot prints to signify tiny feet of Sri Krishna.
