Bargarh, Jan 3: In a recent turn of events, Krishna and Balram, along with their young companion Gopal, arrived in Mathura on the invitation of King Kansa to witness the grand Dhanuyatra festival. During their visit, they were warmly received by the people of Mathura, who greeted them with offerings of incense, lights, and food.

While in Mathura, Krishna met with Kansa’s servants, including Sudama, a devotee and flower vendor. Sudama presented Krishna with a garland, a symbol of honor, and welcomed him to the city. Meanwhile, as part of his divine mission, Krishna also encountered a woman named Kubja, who was on her way to offer prayers. By merely touching her, Krishna transformed her into a beautiful woman, showcasing his divine power.

On the other hand, King Kansa was deeply troubled by the prophecy about his impending death, which was revealed to him through a divine voice in his dreams. In the middle of the night, Kansa was unable to sleep, tormented by fear of his death. In his disturbed state, he drank alcohol and had a frightening vision. He saw himself battling Krishna in a dream, where he was ultimately defeated and killed in a fight with the young god.

This vision terrified Kansa, and in his panic, he ordered the deployment of his army on all sides, preparing for a potential attack. As he paced around Mathura in a state of instability, the people of the city continued to celebrate Krishna’s arrival, oblivious to the fear gripping their king.

As the Dhanuyatra festival entered its tenth day, a large crowd gathered to celebrate. The people of Mathura felt immense pride in Krishna, believing him to be their protector, while Kansa's anxiety continued to grow. Kansa's fear of death and the coming of Krishna’s wrath loomed larger by the day.

The final day of the festival is expected to bring the grand culmination of the event, with Krishna and Balram’s decisive actions against Kansa. The scenes to unfold will include the death of Kansa, the destruction of his forces, and the liberation of Devaki and Basudev from their imprisonment. This final day promises to be a dramatic conclusion to the festival, with a thrilling display of divine power and justice.
