Preparations for the Shri Krishna Janmotsav celebrations are also in full swing in the rural areas. Pandal constructions and decorations have been completed in several blocks, such as Mushari, Kudhani, Kanti, Sahebganj, Saraiya, Paru, Gaighat, and Bochahan. Matka Phod programs will also be organized by youth groups in both urban and rural areas of the district.
Women Observing Fasts
On the occasion of Shri Krishna’s birth anniversary, most women will observe fasts and worship as per rituals. Private and government schools have already celebrated Shri Krishna’s birth anniversary a day earlier, with private schools given a holiday on Wednesday. This decision has brought joy to working teachers who can now easily worship Lord Krishna and observe fasts.
Prasad and Its Benefits
On Janmashtami, various types of prasad, such as coriander leaves and laddus, are prepared in temples and homes. Elderly women have been busy preparing these prasads for many days. According to Ayurveda doctor Vaidya Lalan Tiwari, coriander prasad keeps the stomach cool and cures thyroid disease. Flour-rice laddus increase appetite, while banana prasad provides nutrition during fasting.
