| One of the most loved sweet for the day of Janmashtami is the Shrikhand.
It is in fact the ‘mithai’ for people who observe fast the whole day. Janmashtami is the day of Lord Krishna. People celebrate the birth of Goddess Krishna with great zest and enthusiasm. They repeat the birth taking process of the Lord at midnight i.e. between the first and second day. The idol of Bal Gopal is immersed in a banana in the morning. And at midnight the child is taken out and worshipped.
