About Janmashtami

Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. It falls on the eighth lunar day of the waning moon (Krishna Ashtami) in the month of Bhadrapada, which is called Shravana in the Amanta calendar used in western and southern India. Families fast through the day and worship Krishna at midnight, the hour he is believed to have been born.
