Fasting on Janmashtami? Try These 6 Yummy Recipes to Keep You Energised

Krishna Janmashtami holds a special place in the hearts of many. While it's celebrated with great enthusiasm across India, the festivities reach a crescendo in Mathura and Vrindavan, the birthplaces of Lord Krishna. Temples are decorated, resonating with melodious kirtans, while the streets and bazaars are adorned with colourful Radha and Shri Krishna tableaus. As per the Hindu calendar, Janmashtami falls every year in the month of 'Shravan'. This time, it graces us on September 6th and 7th. Devotees lovingly address Lord Krishna by various names such as Kanha, Balagopal, Laddu Gopal and Banke Bihari. As a mark of respect and affection, many observe a fast on Janmashtami, breaking it only after midnight.
