The Janmashtami Festival will feature thousands of children with their faces painted blue, many carrying flutes and wearing peacock feathers in their hair, dressing like Lord Krishna as part of the festive spirit.
And 40 years after it opened, the spiritual retreat once viewed by critics as a hippie commune, now hosts Janmashtami, the largest Hindu festival in Europe, which marks the birth of Krishna, a popular God in the Hindu Pantheon.
