Celebrating Krishna Janmashtami
Yesterday was a pretty special day of celebration for people following hindu religion. It marks the birth day of our hindu god, Lord Krishna.
There isn't a fixed solar date for the celebration, as we follow lunar calendar for such things here.
So i decided for a late night visit to the Krishna Temple, located in Patan Durbar Square, one of the three Durbar Squares in Kathmandu Valley(Nepal), all of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. I chose late night as i felt that the area would be less crowded at night and even carried my Tripod with me. But i was totally wrong and tripod was only to carry for me.
So let us visit the Krishna Temple and enjoy the celebration with this photo series all taken by my Canon 200D with 50mm lens as i wanted to shoot with the natural light as far as possible. It was very hard to get a vantage point and i tried hard but i always felt i could have taken a better shot. Crowd shooting is not a regular occurrence and also there is always a chance of someone knocking you and the camera out.
See how big the crowd was and how beautiful is the area around Patan Durbar Square. The temples are under renovation as you can see
This is Krishna Temple and the center of attraction for the day
It is said that Lord Krishna loves peacock's feather and almost everyone had one of those in their hand and i tried to revamp my shoot.
HAPPY JANMASHTAMI Cave-Man :) God bless YOU

Want to have your post on the map too?
Beautiful night shots! The temple is amazing and I love the blur of the peacock feathers!
Thank you so much. Felt like pushing myself harder for this post today because of you.
Good for you!! I like it a lot! Now do one more post if you want to get the esteem vote. This one was posted before the 24 hours had passed since your last vote from them.
Thanks for letting me know. I thought 1 upvote per 24 hrs like any other voting system. So i will have to wait about 7 hrs to post(looks like i was voted 18 hrs ago), so that i get their upvote right?
You are right! I have autovoter set to give you 2 50% votes from me each day. If you are going to do one post every 24 hours I can change it to 1 100% vote if you want.
1 100% would be great for me. Sorry that you have to change it.
Done! No problem!
Wow! The place was crowded!
Yep and i was thinking i could dodge them by visiting at night haha. Total flop!
Beautiful shots. Beautiful ceremony.
