On Tuesday night Hindu community of Southern Punjab and Sindh celebrated Krishna Janmashtami, which is an annual Hindu festival commemorating the birth of Krishna, with traditional religious fervour. A ceremony was held at the Bhagwan Shiri Krishan Temple in Sadiqabad Tehsil of Southern Punjab district Rahim Yar Khan where a larger number of people gathered.
During the festival, people performed the rituals and presented shows in the form of dramas and dance shedding light on the significance of the day. Fasting and a night vigil are part and parcel of the festival celebrations.
