Happy Janmashtami to everyone!❤️

Krishna Janmashtami, also known as Janmashtami, is a Hindu festival celebrated to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna, who is considered the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. The festival has several specialities:

1. **Fasting and Devotion:** Devotees observe fasts, sing devotional songs, and engage in prayer and worship throughout the day and night.

2. **Midnight Celebrations:** Lord Krishna is believed to have been born at midnight. So, the main celebration occurs at midnight when idols of baby Krishna are bathed, adorned, and placed in a cradle. Devotees perform aarti (rituals with lamps) and offer special prayers.

3. **Dahi Handi:** In some parts of India, there is a tradition of forming human pyramids to break an earthen pot filled with curd (dahi), which Lord Krishna was fond of. This reenacts Krishna's childhood pranks of stealing butter.

4. **Decorations:** Homes and temples are decorated with flowers, rangoli (decorative patterns made with colored powders), and Krishna footprints leading into the house, symbolizing the entry of Lord Krishna.

5. **Sweets and Savories:** Special dishes, especially sweets like "makhana" (popped lotus seeds), "panjiri" (a sweet made from wheat flour and sugar), and "kheer" (rice pudding), are prepared and offered to Lord Krishna.

6. **Bhajans and Kirtans:** Devotional songs and dances, known as bhajans and kirtans, are performed in temples and homes, narrating the life and teachings of Lord Krishna.

7. **Processions:** In some regions, grand processions

Infant facts !!❤️

Hiccups in babies are common, usually harmless, and often linked to their immature diaphragm. They can happen day or night, often after feeding. Typically, they go away on their own and don't require special treatment. If they persist or are severe, consult a pediatrician.
