Gosta Yatra 2012 date

On this day, great crowds of Vaishnavas, and other Hindus assemble in some extensive field, erect a mound, and having placed on it the images of Krishna and Radha, worship them Dramatic representations are exhibited, and much singing and feasting take place.

It may as well be remarked here, that the Hindus hold very early bathing during the whole month of Baisak (April-May) as exceedingly meritorious, Shastras say that those who do this acquire thereby as much religious merit as if they had presented the Brahmans with a million of cows.
