Special arrangements were made at Hare Krishna Dham (HKD) in Budhanilkantha, informed HKD Treasurer Mahaprabhu Kripa Das. According to Das, tens of thousands of pilgrims arrived at the Budhanilkantha temple to take part in the Aarati programme organised by the International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Nepal.<\/p>\n

ISCKON Nepal has also planned for various other devotional events that would last till late evening.<\/p>\n
On the occasion of Krishna Janmastami, Nepali Hindus offer early morning prayers at various Krishna temples offering fruits, sweets and clothes to the deities. They observe fast throughout the day and celebrate the festival with activities like singing devotional songs, among others dedicated to Lord Krishna until midnight, believed to be the time of Lord Krishna\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
