AGARTALA: ISKCON Agartala is set to organise a two-day Janmashtami festival in the city on September 3 and 4, marking the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna with a series of religious and cultural programmes.
The celebrations will begin on September 3 at 4 pm with a Nagar Sankirtan (procession) starting from the Purbasha premises, followed by evening Aarti and Adhivas ceremonies in the run-up to the main festivities.
On September 4, a full day of religious and cultural programmes will be held from morning until midnight, forming the centrepiece of the celebration.
Alongside the main event in Agartala, ISKCON has also organised grand Janmashtami celebrations across several other parts of Tripura, including Bamutia, Dharmanagar, Kumarghat, Baikhora and Paltana, extending the festivities beyond the state capital.
According to ISKCON, the two-day celebration is aimed not only at religious observance but also at fostering awareness among the younger generation about Indian culture, heritage and values, reflecting the organisation’s broader mission of cultural and spiritual outreach.
Devotees and members of the public are expected to take part in large numbers across the venues over the two days.
