In Uttar Pradesh, the 5253rd birth anniversary of Lord Krishna was celebrated on Friday. At Shri Krishna Janmasthan in Mathura, Lord Krishna was bathed with milk from a silver-adorned golden Kamdhenu cow. The doors were closed for 5 minutes at 11:55 AM. At 12:05 PM, the idol of Lord Shri Krishna was brought out of the sanctum sanctorum. After this, the Lord was seated on a silver lotus and bathed with Panchamrit. Kanha drank Panchratni.
