Krishna Jayanti is a festival that celebrates the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. Bharathi's little Krishnas and Radhas from UKG celebrated Krishna Jayanti by enacting significant events from Lord Krishna's childhood. Their performances highlighted his divine birth amid challenges, Kalinga Nartanam-his divine dance on the hoods of the venomous serpent Kalinga in the Yamuna River, and the lifting of Govardhan Hill on the little finger of his left hand to protect the villagers and cattle of Vrindavan from a torrential storm. The Damodar Leela, one of the pastimes of Krishna’s childhood, in which mischievous Krishna allowed himself to be tied with a simple rope by his mother, captured the essence of his childhood. Dolled up in vibrant hues, the KG students made the day divine. The celebrations concluded with the breaking of the handi (pot), a ritual that recreates the playful childhood stories of Shri Krishna, who loved butter and curd.
