Shri is one of the most revered and beloved Gods in Hinduism. For the unversed, Shri Krishna is the eight avatar or incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is one of the Gods of the Hindu Trinity-- Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And so, every year Shri Krishna's birth, called Krishna or simply Janmashtami, is celebrated with great joy, enthusiam and fervour by his devotees across the world. Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, as per the Hindu lunar calendar. And so, this date usually falls in August or September in the Gregorian calendar. This year, it will be celebrated on both August 15 and 16, 2025, as per Drik Panchang. See More: Why Janmashtami is important According to Hindu scriptures, Lord Krishna was born over 5,000 years ago in Mathura to Devaki and Vasudeva, at a time when the world was burdened by evil, tyranny, and darkness. His birth was not just a divine event but a symbol of hope, righteousness, and love. Krishna's life, teachings, and playful charm have inspired countless generations. The Bhagavad Gita, which he delivered to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, remains one of the most profound spiritual texts in the world. And so for Krishna devotees, Janmashtami is a reminder that no matter what happens, good will always win over evil. It also reminds one of the power of devotion, humility, and righteousness. This year will mark 5252nd birth day of Shri Krishna, as per Drik Panchang. How is Janmashtami celebrated Janmashtami is celebrated with great enthusiasm not just in India but also among Hindu communities across the world. In temples and homes, devotees decorate idols of baby Krishna with bright clothes, ornaments, and flowers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The day is often observed with fasting, which is broken at midnight— the believed time of Krishna's birth— after offering prayers and special dishes to the deity. In Mathura and Vrindavan, the places associated with Krishna's birth and early life respectively, celebrations last for days with devotional singing (bhajans), dances, and dramatic reenactments (Raslila) of episodes from his life. One of the most exciting traditions is the Dahi Handi celebration, especially popular in Maharashtra. Inspired by Krishna's childhood love for butter, teams of young men form human pyramids to break a pot filled with curd, butter, or sweets, hung high above the ground. This event combines devotion, teamwork, and festive cheer, attracting large crowds. This year, Dahi Handi will be celebrated on August 16, 2025, as per Drik Panchang. Midnight celebrations in temples are marked by the chanting of mantras, reading of sacred texts, and the blowing of conch shells as the moment of Krishna's birth is joyfully welcomed. Devotees also prepare special dishes like makhan mishri (butter and sugar), sweets, and milk-based delicacies, which are offered to the deity and later shared as prasad.

This day is suitable for working with confidence, taking bold decisions, and bringing discipline in life.
