Overview
Krishna Puja for families in Panchganga Ghat
Krishna Puja is the worship of Shri Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, loved as the playful child of Gokul, the companion of Radha and the teacher of the Bhagavad Gita. His worship is rich in bhakti, and many families care for him at home as Laddu Gopal, the infant Krishna.
Panchganga Ghat lies on the northern part of Varanasi's riverfront. Its name is traditionally explained as the meeting place of five rivers, and it is one of the ghats pilgrims have long visited for a holy dip in Kashi.

Kṛṣṇāya vāsudevāya haraye paramātmane, praṇatakleśanāśāya govindāya namo namaḥ.
