Kamsa

  1. Kansa had called Akrur to his home for advice on the night of Ekadashi, 
  2. Akrur had reached Nand-bhavan on Dvadashi, and 
  3. on Trayodashi, Shri Krishna and Balram had travelled from Nand Gaon to Mathura in Akrur's chariot. That evening, They wandered around the city of Mathura and the bow sacrifice was performed. 
  4. The next day, on Shiva-chaturdashi, the two brothers killed Kuvalayapida, Canura, Mustika and Kansa. Every year in the month of Kartika on Shukla-dashami, one day before Devotthana-ekadashi, the Chaube community organises a festival to celebrate the killing of Kansa. During this festival a twenty-five to thirty foot tall statue of Kansa is built to be killed by Shri Krishna.
