Every year Gokulashtami is celebrated on a grand scale but due to fear of Covid pandemic most of the celebration and devotional ceremonies were restricted to household. Attending devotional programs was not witnessed this year.
The Visarjan rituals did not see many devotees and it was a small scale event. Some locals told reporters after the Visarjan that they prayed to the almighty that the Covid 19 pandemic comes in control in the coming days so that at least the next year all festivals could be celebrated religiously and with much devotion.
