Despite the rain, Sri Krishna jayanthi celebrations draw people at Nandalala Centre

The Nandalala Centre on Dr Ranga Road in Mylapore came alive on Saturday despite the shower to celebrate Sri Krishna jayanthi.

The centre had organised Paada pooja on two days and asked families to bring their children for this. But though the stream of people was medium or oow on August 15, in Saturday there was a buzz.

Around 5 p.m. Sri Krishna Vaibhavam was held; a very symbolic rocking of the baby Krishna in a colourfully decorated cradle was the focus of the evening, with children, some attired in costumes adding colour to the event.

OnĀ  Aug.17, 9.30 a.m. is Sri Srinivasa Kalyana Vaibhavam. That day, at 6 p.m. is Ratha Utsavam in this campus and later that evening, at 6.15 pm, a Carnatic violin concert by Dr. M Narmadha
