Lord Krishna is the most popular god in Hindi cinema songs. There are several Bollywood films in which Lord Krishna is worshipped and Janmashtami is represented. Janmashtami, the yearly celebration of his birth, is marked by raasleela – a dramatic recreation of his life – and the Dahi Handi activity, in which young men and women form a human pyramid to obtain the earthern pot hanging at a height. Krishna is also honoured with popular tributes, bhajans by the 16th-century mystic Meera, and thumris. Janmashtami is complete without some Krishna bhajans and songs to make your day.

Kanha Soja Zara- Bahuubali 2
Soja Zara, has heavy classical influences. A lullaby of sorts, Madhushree’s rendition adds a sense of playfulness, and the use of flute, veena and mridangam accentuate it. The lyrics are very playful as the lady threats Kanha to go to bed or she will complain his mom Yashoda!
