One of the most widely celebrated festivals of the Indian subcontinent, Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated on 26th August 2024. This pious day marks the birth of Lord Krishna on earth. Since Lord Krishna loved food, Krishna Janmashtami also has a strong association with food, and hence, a lot of prasad varieties are prepared on this day by devotees of Lord Krishna.
