Lord Krishna - the pioneer of Knowledge Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga - was born in the midnight of Bhadrakrishna Ashtami in the Dwapar era, so the day today is called 'Krishna Janmashtami' and the night is called 'Mohratri'. 


On this day, people worship Lord Krishna at Krishna temples across the country with citations of hymns and scriptures. Devotees stay awake throughout the night. 


Born as the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu to protect all human beings from injustice, tyranny and demonic tendencies, Shri Krishna inspired the human community to do good deeds by being in favor of truth throughout his life. 


'Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta' is considered to be a holy book in Hindu mythology. The book is believed to have been translated into the largest number of languages in the world. 


Lines have been arranged for the devotees in the south and north sides of the temple. Nepal Scout volunteers as well as Lalitpur Metropolitan Police personnel have been mobilized to manage the lines of devotees.
