Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Janmashtami, is a major Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna is deeply revered for his role as the protector of dharma (righteousness) and as a symbol of divine love, wisdom, and compassion. The festival is marked by devotion, joy, and various rituals that bring together millions of devotees worldwide. In 2024, Janmashtami will be celebrated on August 26th, coinciding with the auspicious Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga. This special timing makes the day even more significant, as devotees engage in fasting, singing devotional songs, and performing rituals to honor Krishna and seek his blessings for a life filled with love and righteousness. The celebration also includes traditions like Dahi Handi, where participants reenact Krishna’s playful pranks, adding joy and togetherness to the festival.
