Krishna Jayanti: Shoba Yatra

14 September 2006 —Children of all nationalities—both from the ashram and from the surrounding villages—gathered in the main hall, where they were dressed up as little Krishnas, Radhas, and gopis and gopas for a procession to the a nearby Krishna shrine. Mothers adorned their daughters in colourful saris and plastic jewels and applied tilak to their foreheads. With their painted eyes, veils and jingly anklets, the little girls looked very much like the gopis of North India. Most of the boys dressed up as cowherds with dhotis and sashes tied round their wastes, but a few donned crowns and peacock feathers and carried a flute. Joining a crowd of ashramites, Amrita University students and musicians, the children wound their way through the ashram and along Beach Road to the Krishna temple. After circumambulating the temple, they headed back to the ashram.
