With many festivals celebrated in India throughout the year Janmashtami is one of the most important one. It is widely celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm throughout the country during the month of August. Krishna Janmashtami, also referred to as Gokulashtami, is an annual Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna. Here’s all you need to know about the festival. History and Significance of Krishna Janmashtami According to Hindu traditions, on this day, Lord Krishna appeared in this world as Lord Vishnu’s eighth incarnation and destroyer of evil. The number eight has further a meaning in the Krishna mythology since he is the eighth child of his mother, Devaki. Many people celebrate this day as a celebration of the victory of good over evil. How is Krishna Janmashtami celebrated? On this occasion, most Hindu families follow the practice of bathing the idol of Lord Krishna with milk, water and honey, and dress him up in new clothes. Many devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Krishna by singing songs and aarti during this day. Additionally, devotees also visit the temple to sing prayers and kirtans on this auspicious day. Importance of Dahi Handi on Krishna Janmashtami The notorious Lord Krishna was fond of eating makhan (Butter) and Dahi (Yogurt). He was mischievous and used to steal it from the villagers in Vrindavan. The women of Vrindavan got tired and began tying their makhan and Dahi at a higher height so that Krishna couldn’t reach the pot. However, Lord Krishna and his friends would still manage to steal and eat by constructing human pyramids. Dahi Handi then became an annual ritual in the celebration of his birthday on Krishna Janmashtami. Which is why this event is held every year on the day of Krishna Janmashtami. Dahi Handi has become a Krishna Janmashtami tradition throughout the years. Wherein a Dahi Handi is placed on a rope at a set height and a group of people need to form a human pyramid. Then a person climbs to the top and breaks the Handi which is loaded with curd, milk, butter, and dried fruits, just as Lord Krishna and his friends did. If you are also fond of Dahi as much as Lord Krishna, then we have something for you. We bring you authentic and delicious Dahi filled with nutrients. Dahi is rich in nutritional value and offers several other health benefits. It is one of those popular dairy products that is consumed in Indian households on an everyday basis.

It has been loved by people through generations. It is great for the digestive system, it helps in increasing immunity and it promotes hair growth.
