Come Janmasthami, and most Surat bazaar's spring up with vendors selling a kaleidoscopic of clothes for Lord Krishna's Birthday.. Fondly called "Laalo" and his clothes "Vaaga". Most homes have a small diety of "Laalo" whom they worship and pamper like a child.
Janmasthami... and "Matki's" are synonymous, and so are the Govinda's with their Lezim's. Teams of boys go all around Surat, create a human pyramid and break the "matki" to be rewarded with money inside it.
Bhagal Area on Janmasthami evening... Surti's buying decorations for their temples at home.
