Krishna Janmashtami is a happy Hindu feast commemorating the birthday of Lord Krishna, a wise man with an exuberant spirit and whose ideas will never be affected by time. To celebrate the arrival of Krishna, the families in India and other parts of the world adorn their homes and also their temples with colorful flowers, lights, and other innovative ways. The special day sees loved ones uniting over prayers, devotional songs, and the use of sweet treats; homes are filled with festival excitement as traditional art forms such as decorating jhulas (swings), designing matki (pot) art, and execution of Vrindavan-style set-ups. All the rituals commemorate love, harmony, and devotion, and that is why Janmashtami is not only a religious event but an emotional get-together that ignites feelings of joy, unity, and art in every house.
