Janmashtami is a time-honoured tradition where followers of Lord Krishna come together to commemorate His glorious birth and remember His teachings. ISKCON Bangalore, known for its commitment to spiritual and cultural enrichment, invites everyone to join this Ananda Mahotsava or the festival of joy and devotion to Sri Krishna.
A highlight of the Janmashtami celebrations this year will be the Sattvic Food Festival, where renowned restaurants will showcase their varieties of delectable cuisine. Joining the festivities will be esteemed participants such as Rameshwaram Cafe, Indian Sweet House, Sattvam Restaurant, Natraj Chole Bhature, and many others.

In addition to the Sattvic Food Festival, the event will feature captivating cultural performances at the Janmashtami Art, Music and Heritage Fest. Bhajan Samrat and Padma Shri Awardee Sri Anup Jalota will enthral the audience with his melodious musical performance.
Speaking on the occasion, Sri Shyama Vallabha Dasa, Associate Vice President, ISKCON Bangalore, remarked, “Our temples have been spreading the spiritual vibes of Janmashtami across the city by organising grand celebrations at various important locations.
