When is Janmashtami celebrated?

Under the Rohini Nakshatra, Bhagavan Sri Krishna was born at midnight on Ashtami tithi, the eighth day. According to the Amanta calendar, Lord Krishna was born in Shravan, but the Purnimantha calendar dates his birth in Bhadrapad. This corresponds to the English calendar months of August and September, and the precise date is determined by the lunar cycle.

Rituals of Sri Krishna Jayanti

Krishna temples are decorated for the occasion, processions are held, and a variety of bhajans, kirtans, and satsangs are held in places of worship honoring the Blue God. Numerous places hold midnight devotional chanting, upavasa (fasting), a night vigil (ratri Jagran), dance-drama reenactments of Krishna's life as it is told in the Bhagavata Purana, and a feast (mahotsava) the following day to mark His birth.

For Janmashtami, the idols of Lord Krishna are washed and given new clothing. A cradle is used to hold the idol in order to symbolize its birth. Women also create little footprints outside their front entrances and kitchens to represent Krishna entering their houses.

It should be noted that Krishna Janmashtami is primarily observed in Mathura and Vrindavan, as well as other locations where Krishna devotees or Vaishnava communities reside, including Manipur, Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. The festival Nandotsav happens after Krishna Janmashtami.

In accordance with the scriptures, Devaki and her husband King Vasudeva of the Yadava tribe are said to have given birth to Krishna, the eighth manifestation of Vishnu, in Nathdwara during a chaotic period when his maternal uncle King Kamsa was tormenting the earth. When he is an adult, he overthrows and murders his uncle Kamsa/Kansa, the despotic king, after preventing numerous attempts to assassinate the ruler. Later, he makes an important appearance in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.

The story behind Sri Krishna Jayanti

It was said that the eighth child of Princess Devaki and her husband Vasudeva was Krishna, a member of the Yadava clan of Mathura. Devaki's brother Kansa, who was ruling Mathura at the time, killed all the children that Devaki bore in order to avert a prophecy that stated Kansa would be killed by Devaki's eighth son. Vasudeva delivered Krishna to his friend's residence in the Mathura section of Gokul after the boy was born. Nanda and Yashoda, Krishna's parents, then nurtured Krishna at Gokul.
