"Panjiri" and "panchamrit" -- two milk-based delicacies -- and fresh fruit were the most common "prasad".
Temple priests said festivities peak near midnight when Krishna is believed to have been born.
At midnight, priests will perform the "Mahabhishekha" ritual of pouring water and milk over the deity while the sounds of conches and bells fill the air.
In the morning, people bathed baby Krishna idols in milk, curd, water from the Ganga, honey and ghee before placing them in cradles.
