Krishna Jhulaune Parba – श्री कृष्ण झुलाउने पर्ब

यस श्रवण महिनाको ऊपलक्च्यमा भक्तजनहरुले श्री कृष्णजी लाई झुलुंगामा जुलाऊंदै | स्थान: भाटभट्नी (श्रवण महिना)

Nepalis celebrate the ‘Krishna Jhulaune Parba’ for a month starting on the first day and ending on the last day of Sravon (July/August) to appease Lord Krishna and his companions and earn merits and favor of Lord Krishna.

Idols or pictures of Lord Krishna and his companions Radha and Rukmani are placed on a swing, and rocked. While rocking the deities in pictures or idols, devotees sing devotional songs, and some even dance.

Lord Krishna is an amorous deity, so charming and sexually appealing wherever he visited, women married or unmarried followed him unconsciously. Some husbands even lodged complaints about their spouses following Lord Krishna.

Lord Krishna is believed to be the eight human incarnation of Lord Vishnu that finished off the evil spirits dwelling on the planet earth killing Kamsa, and cleaning off all the immoral royalties of Kauravas and Pandavas in the Kurukshetra war.
