Janmashtami prayers at ISKCON temples in East of Kailash, Dwarka

Devotees gathered at ISKCON temples in East of Kailash and Dwarka Sector 13 on Friday for Janmashtami prayers and Mangla Aarti.

The two temples held special prayers as worshippers marked the birth of Lord Krishna. Janmashtami, also known as Gokulashtami, falls on Ashtami—the eighth day of the dark fortnight—in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada.

Residents planning to join festivities elsewhere in the city can find Janmashtami event and midnight aarti details for venues across Delhi-NCR. In Noida, traffic restrictions are in place around the ISKCON temple in Sector 33 for the festival.
