It was a great week-end festival

The last weekend was filled with festive colours and joy at Sri Krishna Mandir. The public holiday on Friday was a blessing of Lord Nrsimhadev. This facilitated us to make it a grand three-day celebration. The celebrations kicked off with a grand abhishek for Lord Nrsimha, which was accompanied by heavy kirtan. Following this was a cultural programme which included children's Dasavatara costume parade, a couple of dances which were performed by devotees and well-wishers, a very entertaining children's quiz and a spectacular drama which was enacted by Sri Krishna Mandir's Vaikuntha Players. The second day was dedicated to children's programmes of which the drama was the highlight. The Sunday was the Bengali night. The usual Sunday crowd at Norris Road was much benefitted by the tumultuous kirtan which lasted for about one-and-a-half hours. The Drama which followed the kirtan was very much appreciated by the audience.
On all the three days, a variety of sumptuous prasadam was served to our guests, devotees, well-wishers and outsiders.
