Sarukkai Navaneetha Krishnan Temple
Navaneetha Krishna, a beloved form of Lord Krishna, is revered as the divine child who embodies joy, innocence, and playfulness. The name "Navaneetha" means "fresh butter," referring to Krishna's childhood fondness for stealing and eating butter. Devotees worship Navaneetha Krishna as a symbol of innocence, joy, and divine love. This form of Krishna is especially celebrated during the festival of Janmashtami, which marks his birth. Stories of Navaneetha Krishna's butter-stealing antics are widely told and cherished, representing the god's approachability and the sweet, nurturing relationship between the divine and his devotees.
