Shri Krishna Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Jayanti, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated with immense fervor across India and beyond. It marks the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is revered as a divine figure and a symbol of love, wisdom, and righteousness. The festival typically falls on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadrapada (August-September) according to the Hindu lunar calendar. Devotees engage in fasting, prayers, and elaborate decorations of temples and homes to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna. Intricate ceremonies, devotional songs, and dance performances are held, often reenacting episodes from Krishna’s life. It’s a time of joy, spiritual reflection, and unity as people come together to celebrate the divine presence of Lord Krishna.
