Nandotsav

Nandotsav is a festival celebrated on the next day of Janmashtami- Lord Krishna's birth; It is believed that all the villagers of Braj visited Nand Baba's house to see little Krishna and congratulate Mata Yashoda. Nand Baba distributed ornaments^{[disambiguation needed ]}, clothes, cattle and various other valuables among saints and sages. All saints and sages bestowed blessings on Lord Krishna in return. In Vrindavan this auspicious day is celebrated very pompously in the Radhavallabh Temple. Panchamrit abhisheka and Maha aarti is performed in honour of Lord Krishna's birth. On this day people celebrate 'Govinda'- Devotees form small groups and break Maakhan Haandis tied to ropes on high rise buildings.
