"Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the people of the state on the occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, the birth celebration of Lord Shri Krishna, the symbol of truth, righteousness, and justice. I pray to Lord Shri Krishna for the happy, healthy, and auspicious life of you all," CM Dhami wrote on X.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his greetings to all countrymen on the occasion of Janmashtami and called it a "sacred festival" of faith.

In an X post, PM Modi wrote, "Heartfelt Janmashtami greetings to all countrymen. May this sacred festival of faith, joy, and enthusiasm infuse new energy and zeal into your lives. Jai Shri Krishna!"

Janmashtami is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna.

On Friday, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha joined the Janmashtami celebrations at the Krishna Temple in Agartala's Banamalipur, organised by the Tripura Yadav Samaj.

Devotees thronged the temple premises, offering prayers, singing devotional songs, and taking part in cultural programs.

The Chief Minister extended his greetings to the people on the occasion and praised the Yadav community for preserving and promoting their spiritual and cultural traditions.

Meanwhile, in Gujarat's Dwarka, special security and logistical arrangements have been put in place for Janmashtami, with dedicated facilities for senior citizens, differently abled devotees, and mothers, along with provisions for clean drinking water and enhanced sanitation.

Preparations for Dahi Handi festivities and Janmashtami are underway across the country, including Maharashtra, where grand Dahi Handi events witness devotees forming human pyramids to break earthen pots filled with curd, butter, and other milk products -- symbolising Lord Krishna's playfulness and his love for butter and curd.

While I appreciate the greetings, I wish our leaders would also focus on implementing Krishna's principles of justice in governance. Too many pending cases in courts and corruption issues need attention.

The security arrangements in Dwarka are commendable! Every year Janmashtami sees massive crowds and it's good to see special facilities for elderly and differently abled devotees. More temples should follow this example.

As someone new to India, I'm fascinated by how beautifully Janmashtami is celebrated across states! The Dahi Handi tradition in Maharashtra looks particularly exciting. Would love to experience it someday.

My childhood memories of dressing up as Radha for Janmashtami celebrations in school are coming back! It's wonderful how this festival brings communities together with bhajans, dances and sharing of sweets.

Hope the celebrations remain peaceful across all states. Last year there were some unfortunate incidents during Dahi Handi in Mumbai. Safety should be priority while maintaining the festive spirit.
