'Janmashtami' is celebrated as birth day of 'Lord Krishna' as a very famous Hindu festival all around the world. Lord Krishna is the most popular avatar or incarnation of Lord Vishnu among Hindus. Epic stories say, Krishna was born in Mathura in Uttar Pradesh some 5000 years ago in the cosmic phase of 'Dwapar Yuga'. Hindus celebrate the birth of their beloved God with fast and recitation of his glory.

Jagannath Temple, Hauz Khas, New Delhi

'Ratha' means Chariot or Car and 'Yatra' means Festival. 'Ratha Yatra' or 'Car Festival' is one of the very important festivals celebrated by Hindus, originated from Lord Jagannath Temple, Puri, Orissa but celebrated all over the world. On this auspicious day, only once in a year, deities Lord Jagannath, Lord Subhadra and Lord Balabhadra come out of the Temple and travel by huge traditional chariots being pulled by people. The procession goes to Lord's aunt's Temple where they stay for 9 days. On the 10th day deities return to their temple in respective chariots.
Non Hindus are not allowed inside the Jagannath Temple, it is believed, once in a year Lord comes out to see his devotees who could not get into the temple.
