With Janmashtami right around the corner, all Krishna devotees around the world are at an all-time high. Janmashtami is being celebrated on August 26th this year. Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Hindu God Krishna, the son of Devaki and Vasudev. Janmashtami is also known as Krishna Janmashtami or Gokul Ashtami. On this day, devotees wake up early and prepare different kinds of prasad and bhog to offer to the deity. One of the traditional prasads prepared on this day is Gopalkala. It is super easy to make at home and is prepared with the combination of yogurt, cucumber, coconut, chiwda , green chillies and salt. The savoury treat could be one of the offerings on ‘chappan bhog‘, a bhog dedicated to Lord Krishna comprising fifty-six sweet and savoury items.
