Janmashtami, one of the major religious festivals of the Hindu community celebrating the birth of Lord Sri Krishna, will be observed today (Saturday) across the country with due religious fervour, reports BSS.
According to Hindu mythology, Sri Krishna was born on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the Bangla month of Bhadra. It is believed that he incarnates in every age to protect the virtuous from the wicked and to uphold truth, justice, and harmony in society.
The festival is usually observed on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Shraban or Bhadra.
Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus greeted the members of the Hindu community on the occasion of Janmashtami.
He wished every success of the Janmashtami festival and prayed for the happiness and prosperity of all citizens.
The day of Janmashtami is a public holiday in Bangladesh.
Temples, religious organisations, and various institutions have chalked out elaborate programmes to mark the occasion. National dailies will publish special articles, while Bangladesh Betar, Bangladesh Television, and private TV and radio channels will air special programmes highlighting different aspects of the life and philosophy of Lord Sri Krishna. Mahanagar Sarbajanin Puja Committee has organised a programme to be observed centrally at Dhakeshwari National Temple.
