Janmashtami was celebrated with much fanfare across the country , with thousands of devotees thronging the major temples in Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted people on the occasion. He wished new energy and enthusiasm in the lives of “every member of my family”, a reference to citizens. “Jai Shri Krishna,” Modi added in his post on X.
जन्माष्टमी की बहुत-बहुत बधाई। श्रद्धा और भक्ति का यह पावन अवसर मेरे सभी परिवारजनों के जीवन में नई ऊर्जा और नए उत्साह का संचार करे, यही कामना है। जय श्रीकृष्ण!
