Dahi Handi: Greetings, Quotes, Whatsapp Messages, Images To Share On Krishna Janmashtami

Krishna Janmashtami is also known as Gokulashtami and this year it will be celebrated on 18 August. The festival marks the birth of Lord Krishna, a Hindu deity whose sole aim was to free the earth from all evils. As per tradition, the next day Dahi Handi is celebrated, which falls on 19 August this year.

Known for his favourite habit of stealing butter from the homes of his neighbourhood and fondly known as 'Makhan Chor', this festival is done to recreate the famous and iconic episode from Lord Krishna's childhood, but in a symbolic way. Hence, the tradition of Dahi Handi is followed across the world.

Devotees believe that when Lord Krishna stepped on this earth, he took the form of Vishu, his eighth avatar. Therefore, according to the Hindu calendar, this festival is celebrated on the 8th day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadon. It is believed that Lord Krishna was born to Devaki and Vasudeva in Mathura and was raised by Yoshada and Nanda, his foster parents. Therefore, this day is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm and in a grand manner in India and across the globe.

We have curated heart warming messages, greetings, quotes, images for you to share with your friends, families and colleagues on this auspicious day.
