Worshippers clamoured to catch a glimpse of a revered shrine during a Hindu festival in India.

Devotees gathered to celebrate Krishna Janmashtami, marking the birth of Lord Krishna, at the Jagannath Temple in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, at midnight on Saturday, August 16.

Footage shows crowds of believers surrounding the decorated altar with their hands raised, chanting mantras and taking part in sacred rituals.

Krishna Janmashtami is one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar. It commemorates the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of the god Vishnu, who is worshipped for his teachings in the Bhagavad Gita and celebrated for his divine playfulness and wisdom.

The festival is typically observed with fasting, devotional singing, dramatic re-enactments of Krishna's life, and midnight celebrations to mark the exact moment of his birth.
