It is believed that Vrindavan is the place where Lord Krishna spent a significant amount of his youth.

Several famous temples in the area, including the ISKCON temple, Rangnathji Temple, Banke Bihari Temple, and Radharaman Temple, conduct significant ceremonies during Janmashtami.

Numerous traditional performances occur in Madhuban during Janmashtami, drawing tourists from across India and around the globe.

The spectacle of Dahi Handi is a common sight in numerous popular film scenes and songs. In this procedure, a container of yogurt is suspended at a significant distance above the ground. A group of young boys, representing Lord Krishna, create a pyramid structure, with one individual climbing to the top to break the pitcher. They recite ‘Govinda, Govinda’ as they participate in the stunt.

Odisha and West Bengal

In East India, states such as Odisha and West Bengal observe Janmashtami by fasting and presenting various local sweets to Gopal or infant Krishna. The Bhagavata Purana is studied starting from the 10th chapter, which focuses on the life of Krishna. A prasad of over 400 items is presented to Lord Krishna as an elaborate meal or bhoga. On Janmashtami, Bengali families make a delicious sweet treat called Taler boda or sugar palm fritter.

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
