Janmashtami 2023: This lavish setup of 88 dishes looked no less than a feast.
Janmashtami is being celebrated on September 7 across the country. Known as the birth day of Lord Krishna, devotees observe this day with much fervour and excitement. People bathe their Krishna idols, dress them up in beautiful new clothes and serve them some wonderful dishes that were loved by them during childhood. Some people observe a vrat or fast on Krishna Janmashtami and enjoy a feast at midnight when it is said that the deity was born. A woman from Mangalore showed her devotion on Janmashtami like never before. She prepared a whopping 88 dishes for the festival, and the post has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter).

The photos were shared on X by Dr P Kamath, who goes by the handle @cardio73. He is a cardiologist based in Mangalore as per his post, the lady is his patient. The doctor shared a series of photos in which the lady had carefully put together a wholesome feast to show her devotion for Lord Krishna. Rather than the usual 'Chhapan Bhog' which is customary on the occasion of Janmashtami, the lady had created something even more lavish. We could spot dishes like kale chane, laddoo, barfi, peda, jalebi and lots more. "Proud of her and her devotion to lord Krishna. She is my patient. She has again broken her previous record. 88 dishes were prepared last night for Gokulashtami," read the post on X.
