The love between Radha and Krishna is immortal as it has no beginning and no end.
To celebrate the birthday of Radha and the divine love of Radha and Krishna, J&K Dharmarth Trust had made elaborate arrangements for the devotees.
On the occasion, women devotees had a special prayer for the safety and well being of their children. The children too participated in the pooja and celebrations.
Secretary, J&K Dharmarth Trust, Shashi Khajuria and other office bearers were also present on the occasion.
Later, prasad was distributed among the devotees.
