Janmashtami has a fond association with food as Lord Krishna loved good food. A lot of prasads are prepared on this pious day. Janmashtami is celebrated by Hindus and Krishna followers around the world and the festival celebrations involve fasting and preparing special foods preferred by the much-loved God.
