Most devotees prepare poha as it is considered as Prasad or holy offering. Devotees also prepare delicacies for Lord Krishna and offer these to the idols at home or in Krishna temples. Beautiful rangolis are also drawn on the verandas and outside houses. It is almost as if people are playing Holi with flowers, instead of colours. People celebrate this auspicious day by decorating their homes and idols of Lord Krishna with beautiful and colourful flowers.
