The festival of Krishna Ashtami marks the birth of Lord Krishna, one of the ten incarnations of Hindu Lord Vishnu. The Hindu community in Nepal celebrates this festival with lot of fanfare. Devotees of Lord Krishna observe fast, consuming only fruits and milk products. They visit temples in huge numbers to have the darshan of their lord. They take processions in the streets of the towns carrying bedecked idols and images of the Lord. Often the procession is accompanied by a band of musicians.
