Hundreds of students belonging to different classes took part in various competitions hosted by ISKCON as part of Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations at the Beach Road.

Inaugurated by ISKCON president Sambadas and director Mataji Nitaisevini, the contests were held as part of the pre-Janmashtami celebrations scheduled at ISKCON from 24th to 27th of this month.

Speaking on the occasion, Sambadas said that in connection with the Janmashtami celebrations, several competitions were organised for the students of Visakhapatnam. He informed that such programmes were organised for the past 24 years and they aim to commemorate the divine spirit of Janmashtami, promote Vedic culture and nurture the latent talent of the younger generation.
