Damodara & Mother Yashoda

According to Vedic spirituality practice, the four months of raining season is also known Caturmasya. In these months, generally it is believed that the people in India fast and perform austerity. They fast from certain food on different months that is usually between July and October (varies according to the Vedic calendar).

 

In the last month of Caturmasya, it is known as Karthik. There is a pastime in this month that Mother Yashoda binds her son, Damodara's (Krishna) waist and tied Him against the mortar between two trees. The picture depicts the apprehension of Damodara as Mother Yashoda managed to catch Him after a long long time of chasing around the courtyard for breaking the butter pots and feeding the butter to the monkeys.

 

Also in this month of Karthik, devotees of Krishna will offer lit up candles and offer to Damodara throughout the entire month.
