This small township has become the home of Krishna devotees, popularly known as “Hare Krishnas”, who have settled down here and formed a small community.
They staged plays revolving around stories of Krishna’s childhood, besides singing and dancing just like devotees in India.
The event was accompanied with a somptous feast of 108 dishes, a number that has come to be identified as pious by the faithful.
Ithamar Theodor, who teaches Indian culture at the Department of Asian Studies of Haifa University, said “there is a general attraction towards Indian culture. It is not just a religious attraction but more of a cultural attraction.”
“The process of Americanisation in Israel has left a void which is very well filled by the Indian cultural aspects ranging from its spirituality, philosophy, music and a whole range of other alternatives,” he said.
