What Is Janmashtami?
Krishna Janmashtami, also known simply as Janmashtami, is a major Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, who is considered the eighth avatar (incarnation) of the god Vishnu. The festival is observed on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapada, which typically falls in August or September.
Why do we celebrate Janmashtami?
Janmashtami is celebrated to honor the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, who is revered for his role in restoring cosmic order and defeating the tyrannical king Kansa. This festival marks the divine intervention of Krishna, who was born to save the world from evil. By celebrating Janmashtami, devotees acknowledge Krishna’s significance in Hindu mythology as a protector and guide, and they express gratitude for his teachings and divine presence.
The festival is marked by various customs and rituals that reflect joy and devotion, including fasting, decorating homes and temples, and performing devotional songs and dances. Traditional activities, such as "Dahi Handi," highlight Krishna’s playful nature and love for butter, bringing a vibrant and communal spirit to the celebrations. Janmashtami also provides an opportunity for spiritual reflection, allowing devotees to renew their connection with Krishna and to embrace the values of righteousness and compassion he embodies.
