Nand Mahotsav is celebrated today at the Shrinathji temple of Nathdwara, the headquarters of Vallabh sect. Nand Mahotsav started bathing the child in Panchamrit in the morning. The temple officials pamper Thakurji in the guise of Yashoda Maiya and Nand Baba. Thakurji, seated on a golden plinth, is adorned with gold and silver toys. Meanwhile, children of Brij also dance and sing on the stupas “Nand Ghar Anand Bhayo” and “Jai Kanhaiya Lal” in the guise of cowherds and gopis to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna. 500 police personnel were deployed for security and arrangements were also made to distribute Panjiri and Panchamrit in the temple. After the darshan of the devotees, another route is made, on which there is a continuous crowd from morning. About 500 police personnel have been deployed for security, while plainclothes personnel are also keeping a close watch. The area around the city is bumpy. A warning was posted at the temple gate to beware of thieves and pickpockets. Police and temple board officials keep an eye on the temple through CCTV cameras in the control room. However, due to the huge crowd, the entire Nathdwara is jammed. Lines of two-wheelers and four-wheelers formed on the outskirts of the city. Share this story Tags
