The Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple, where Sri Madhwacharya, exponent of Dwaita philosophy, installed the idol of Lord Krishna about 800 years ago, was the cynosure of all eyes. Car Street, where the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple and Ashta Mutts (eight mutts) are located, was decked with flower sellers. Krishna Janmashtami festival was celebrated with traditional pomp and gaiety here on Wednesday. One of the major attractions of the festival was the “Muddu Krishna” competition, where children sport the costumes of Lord Krishna as a child (or Lord Balakrishna). The children tried to imitate the childhood pranks of Lord Krishna to devotional songs played in the background on the stage.
