Krishnaastami is the celebration of Lord Krishna's birthday. He is one of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu and the festival is celebrated countrywide by all Hindus. Devotees visit Krishna temples around the cities; women devotees fast and stay up all night chanting bhajans for the progress and prosperity of their relatives and family members. The largest number of devotees can be seen at the famous Krishna Mandir of Patan where they pay homage to the god.
