Krishna Janmashtami, a significant Hindu festival, commemorates the birth of Lord Krishna, considered an incarnation of the god Vishnu.
This auspicious occasion falls on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the month of Bhadrapada, typically occurring in either August or September. In the year 2023, this celebration will commence on September 6th at 11:57 a.m.
Krishna Janmashtami holds profound cultural and spiritual significance in India and among Hindus worldwide.
The day commences with devotees observing fasts and visiting temples, where they recite mantras dedicated to Lord Krishna. In the evening, an idol of infant Krishna is placed in a cradle, symbolising his birth in Mathura. Devotees also gather to witness reenactments of Krishna's early life, including young men forming human pyramids to break pots filled with curd, a favourite of the mischievous Lord. This popular event is known as 'Dahi Handi' or 'Govinda.'
Krishna Janmashtami also serves as a reminder of Lord Krishna's divine teachings, emphasising the values of righteousness, devotion, and selfless action.
