While the festival of Krishna Janmashtami, known by different names including Gokulashtami, is celebrated with much fervour across the country and the world owing to the popularity of Lord Krishna, this year, the celebrations are expected to be low-key with the current coronavirus pandemic concern.

As part of the rituals, while some indulge in devotional singing, others revel in the customary Dahi Handi act. Dahi Handi is also celebrated with a lot of pomp and drama – loud DJs, rain dance and what always steals the limelight, a Dahi Handi contest. However, this year, no large gatherings are allowed.
