Buka Bhaona

Mud pretense), also known as Pekjatra is a special bhaona held in conjunction with the Nandotsav on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami.

[2][3] The tradition of Boka Bhaona is associated with the story of the joy in Gokul at the time of the birth of Krishna.

[4] It is believed that the road to Gokul became muddy and slippery due to heavy rains during the birth of Krishna and the butter, honey and oil brought by the devotees who went to see Krishna at the house of Nandaraja the next day.

[5] The festival is celebrated mainly in the customs of the Mahapurushia through Nam-Prasang and Bhaona culture.

It is customary to artificially muddy a piece of mud and pour butter and honey on it.
