Sri Krishna Janmashtami in ISKCON Bangalore is celebrated with great fervour and enthusiasm. The preparations begin many months before the festival. The temple will be adorned with colourful flowers and festoons, radiating a festive aura of vibrancy and celebration.
Sevas offered to the Lord:
There will be various sevas offered to Their Lordships. There will also be a unique offering of delicacies to their Lordships. Many opportunities are available on this most auspicious day to participate in the grand celebration throughout the day.
You can experience spiritual bliss through cultural programs, divine darshan, special sevas, melodious kirtans, and delicious prasadam.
Abhisheka of Their Lordships:
The utsavar Deities of Sri Krishna, along with His consorts, are anointed with fragrant oils and given ceremonial abhisheka with auspicious items like milk, yoghurt, ghee, honey, sweet water and fresh juices. They are then smeared with turmeric paste and bathed in Ganges water. Varieties of flowers are showered until the Deities are submerged in a soft bed of flowers.
An elaborate abhisheka to Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra will be performed at 9 PM on 26 Aug 2024. We invite you to visit the temple to witness this sublime event on this most auspicious day and be blessed.
