Kansa Vadh

The festival of Kansa Vadh celebrates the victory of good over evil. On this day Lord Krishna killed ‘Kansa’ and reinstated ‘King Ugrasena’ as the Ruler of India. Kansa Vadh is observed on the ‘dashami tithi’ (10th day) during the ‘Shukla Paksha’ (the phase of bright fortnight of moon) during the Hindu lunar month of ‘Kartik’.
