India is celebrating Lord Krishna’s appearance on this planet and his endearing love for all things in milk. Also known as Gokulashtami, devotees remember Krishna’s naughty tricks to get his hands on the creamy yoghurt which his mother would try to hide in vain. This year, Janmashtami falls on September 2, which is today, and people are leaving no stones unturned to make it yet another festival memorable with sweets, elegant handis, plays and colourful decorations. Twitter is filled with Janmashtami 2018 wishes and recalling Krishna’s playfulness, on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha of the Hindu calendar month of Bhadrapada.
