Janmasthami

 Hello. Today I am telling you about something that you might have not heard about and that is JANMASTHAMI!!! I hope from this blog you guys learn some facts about janmasthami. I hope you like this.

Janmasthami is basically the birthday of lord Krishna, one of the special gods in hindu culture. Lord Krishna was born a 12.00 at night. Janmasthami includes a time of 5 days and the five days are

1. Naag Pancham

2. Rathan Chatt

3. Shitila satam

4. Janmasthami - (the day of Krishna's birth) 

5. Nom/Parna

So those are the five days. Here is some more information about these days.

Naag Pancham

Naag means snake and Pancham means 5, according to our Gujarati calendar Naag Pancham is the 5th day of the month. On this day we do a pooja/prayer to a Naag/snake. Basically on this day we worship snakes by offering them milk, water, flowers and sweets. So that is what Naag Pancham is.

Rathan Chatt

Rathan Chatt is the day we cook all the food for Shitila Satam. That is all we do an Rathan Chatt.

Shitila Satam

On this day we hindus only eat cold food that we made on the previous day. We can not eat anything Hot or warm on this day, So that is what Shitila Satam is about.

Janmasthami

Now finally Janmasthami, on this day we fast and we only eat root vegetables. 12.00 at night we do a very big pooja and we bath Lord Krishna and dress him with nice and beautiful clothes. That is what Janmasthami is.

Nom/Parna

This is the last day. On this day  we celebrate and eat sweets and stuff. Thats it.

I hope you guys learnt something from this information. Well here is a pictures of my Lord Krishna.

 

I hope you guys like my Lord Krishna.
