Janmashtami 2025 Panchang: Shubh Muhurat, Nakshatra, And Rahu Kaal For August 16
Aaj Ka Panchang, August 16, 2025: Today is dedicated to the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Shravan month, which is considered extremely sacred from the religious point of view. This date is especially famous for fasting and worship of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, although the actual Janmashtami date depends on specific beliefs and Nishith Kaal in the Panchang.
The Moon is still located in Aries today and is transiting in Krittika Nakshatra, which indicates energy, determination, and predominance of the fire element. Krittika Nakshatra provides brilliance, firmness, and clarity.
Today's Dhruva Yoga indicates stability in life, firmness of decisions, and continuity in action. This day is suitable for working with confidence, taking bold decisions, and bringing discipline in life.
This combination of Aries Moon and Krittika Nakshatra gives you the power to accelerate your plans and execute them. However, one should avoid starting any important work during today's Rahukaal and other inauspicious times.
August 16, 2025, is a day full of confidence and strong thoughts. The fire element of Krittika Nakshatra will give you extra energy today, which can inspire you to complete your unfinished tasks. If you want to give a concrete shape to a new plan or determination, then today can be a good day to move in that direction – just keep in mind the inauspicious time. This day is considered especially favorable for worship, penance, fasting, or any sacred resolution.
Today is a day of dedication, clarity, and fast work. Recognize your inner strength with worship of God and move towards your goals with determination. There may be signs of progress in both material and spiritual fields.

Mumbai Dahi Handi Govinda Team Sets 10-Tier Human Pyramid Record
The Dahi Handi festivities in Maharashtra witnessed a historic moment as Jogeshwari's Konkan Nagar Govinda Pathak set a world record by forming a 10-tier human pyramid. The feat was achieved during the Sanskruti Dahi Handi festival in Thane, hosted by Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik. It was this year's first 10-storey pyramid. Amid roaring applause, the Govinda Pathak not only formed the towering 10-level pyramid, but also incorporated a 'Char Ekka' formation. It's a formation where four participants are stacked atop a single person. This feat requires remarkable strength, balance and coordination. Mr Sarnaik congratulated the team, saying, 'This is not a record, it's a sign of focus, teamwork and organisation. The Govindas have indeed shown skill and commitment.' Jogeshwari has been at the forefront for many years when it comes to Dahi Handi celebrations. Previously, the Jai Jawan Mitra Mandal Govinda team had a record for making nine-tier pyramids for five consecutive years. Dahi Handi in Maharashtra Every year, as Janmashtami draws near, Maharashtra comes alive with Dahi Handi preparations. The festival, inspired by the legend of Lord Krishna's love for butter, has grown into a grand spectacle in cities such as Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Nashik. Handis filled with curd are strung across narrow lanes or mounted on cranes, while teams of Govindas form multi-tier pyramids to reach and break the Handi. Over the years, Dahi Handi has evolved beyond a cultural ritual into a competitive and commercial affair. Prize money, sponsorships and extensive media coverage have raised the stakes, making it a platform for both athletic skill and team strategy.

Operation Sindoor makes way to Mathura Janmashtami celebration
Agency: PTI Mathura, Aug 16 (PTI) Operation Sindoor made its way to the Janmashtami celebration here, with the idol of Lord Krishna being placed in a 'sindoor' bungalow at the Keshavdev temple here. Priests say this is the 5252nd birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. According to the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust secretary Kapil Sharma, Operation Sindoor gave people a glimpse of Krishna with the Sudarshan Chakra. 'Therefore, the full incarnation Lord Shri Krishna will also sit in the 'Sindoor' bungalow and give darshan," Sharma said. He said Thakurji, as is Krishna also called, will preside in the Bhagwat Bhawan built on a high mound at Katra Keshavdev, a part of the temple. 'Thakurji will give darshan in the silver-plated sanctum sanctorum in the 'Sindoor pushp' bungalow wearing a 'Meghadhenu' dress," Sharma said. The temple official said the devotees will be able to enter the temple premises from 5.30 am to 1.30 pm for the Janmabhishek Darshan. Gopeshwar Nath Chaturvedi, member of Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan, said the entire temple has been decked up, with its sanctum sanctorum, famous as Kansa's prison, filigreed with 221 kg of silver. At Vrindavan's Radha Raman temple, Janmashtami is celebrated in the morning. Dinesh Chandra Goswami, Sewayat of Sri Radha Raman temple in Vrindavan, said, 'The morning Janamasthami celebration is in line with the appearance of Lord Radha Ramanji, which happens at the same time. Why wake up a child at night?" A special 'gurh' (jaggery) and til (sesame seeds) prasad is offered to the God, as part of a ritual. Later, the 'chhappan bhog' is offered to the deity, he said. Munish Sharma and Umesh Saraswat, managers of Thakur Bankebihari Temple of Vrindavan, said, according to instructions of the high court, only 500 devotees will be allowed to be present in the temple premises during Mangala Aarti on Sunday morning. 'So that there is no situation of pressure or stampede and the accident in 2022 is not repeated," one of them said.
