Overview
Krishna Puja for families in Sarnath
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.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
कृष्णाय वासुदेवाय हरये परमात्मने।

Kṛṣṇāya vāsudevāya haraye paramātmane, praṇatakleśanāśāya govindāya namo namaḥ.
