Sri Krishna Janmashtami is a significant Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. Janmashtami falls on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadrapada, typically in August or September. The festival commemorates Lord Krishna’s birth, celebrated with fasting, devotional singing, night vigils, and reenactments of his life and divine play. Devotees often observe a midnight vigil, breaking their fast at the time of Krishna’s birth, followed by feasting and sharing of prasad (blessed food) .
