History
According to Hindu mythological books, Krishna took birth in jail and his biological parents were Vasudev and Devki who was in prison by Kans. Vasudev took Krishna and crossed the Yamuna River in a stormy night to pass on his child to a friend so save Krishna from the evil hands of Kansa. Therefore, Maiya Yashodha and Nanda of the Gokul region of Mathura happened to be the foster parents of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna was believed to be a wonder child as his skills were noticed since childhood. Krishna saved villagers from all tumultuous situations. Eventually, villagers of Nandgaon started grandly celebrating the birthday of Krishna as they believed this day to be a fortunate one. It is said that this festival initially originated in Gokul and slowly engulfed the Mathura region and afterward the whole Uttar Pradesh state. And now even after 1000 years, the whole country celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna as the epitome of faith, friendship, love, and peace.
