A festival dedicated to Lord Krishna, Gopashtami, was celebrated on October 26 in Bhakti Dham, Mangadh, during the 2009 annual sadhana camp.
Gopashtami or Gopa Ashtami, is observed on the eighth day during waxing phase of the moon (Shukla Paksha) in Kartik month (October – November).
These celebrations commemorate Shri Krishna’s childhood leelas related to tending cows in Braj. Traditionally on this day, cows are bathed and decorated, and “go” or cow puja, a small ceremony, is performed.
